"text": "What Is MRA? In this Article Preparation What to Tell Your Doctor What to Expect After the MRAAn MRA is a test that lets your doctor see inside your blood vessels -- your arteries and veins. MRA stands for Magnetic Resonance Angiogram or MR Angiography. Your doctor may ask you to get one in order to look for and treat problems with your blood vessels. The test can check the blood vessels in many different parts of your body: Brain or neck Heart or chest Abdomen or belly, including organs, like your liver or kidneys Pelvis or lower belly Arms and legs Your doctor may order this exam for different reasons that include: Check for aneurysms or weakened blood vessels Find plaque that blocks or narrows blood vessels Look for problems with the structure of your blood vessels Help to prepare for surgery, or check results after surgery Locate injured blood vessels after an accident Help with cancer treatment Diagnose blood clots Preparation You will get instructions, usually from the place where you’ll have your MRA. Make sure you understand the directions and follow them closely. They may include information about: Whether you can eat or drink before the test If it’s OK to take your usual medicines What you may wear and what you will need to take off Continue Reading Belowyou might like The MRA equipment includes a magnetic field. So you’ll need to take off anything metal, such as: Jewelry and watches Body piercings Eye glasses and hearing aids Clothing with metal snaps or zippers What to Tell Your Doctor Make sure you tell your doctor or the staff at the MRA facility if you: Have medical problems, like kidney disease Are allergic to anything Are pregnant or breastfeeding Have any medical devices or implants, like: Heart valves Drug ports Artificial limbs or joint replacements Metal pins, screws, plates, staples, or stents Also let them know if you have other metal: Left from an accident or injury In some tattoo dye From dental work MRA is safe for people with most types of metal implants, except: Cardiac defibrillators Pacemakers Cochlear or ear implants Some clips for brain aneurysm repair Some coils for blood vessel repair Tell your doctor, too, if you’re afraid of closed or small spaces. They may give you medicine before the test to help you relax. If so, you’ll need someone to drive you home after the exam.1 2 View All"

"text": "Angiogram of the Head and Neck Test Overview An angiogram of the head and neck is an X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera ( fluoroscopy) to take pictures of the blood flow in the blood vessels of the head and neck. An angiogram of the neck (carotid angiogram) can be used to look at the large arteries in the neck that lead to the brain. An angiogram of the head ( cerebral angiogram) can be used to look at the veins or the four arteries (four-vessel study) carrying blood to the brain. During an angiogram, a thin, soft tube called a catheter is placed into a blood vessel in the groin (femoral artery or vein) or just above the elbow (brachial artery or vein). The catheter is guided to the head and neck area. Then an iodine dye ( contrast material) is injected into the vessel to make the area show clearly on the X-ray pictures. The angiogram pictures can be made into regular X-ray films or stored as digital pictures in a computer. An angiogram can find a bulge in a blood vessel ( aneurysm ). It can also show narrowing or a blockage in a blood vessel that slows or stops blood flow. An abnormal pattern of blood vessels (arteriovenous [AV] malformation) or abnormal vessels near a tumor can be seen."

Cerebrovascular disease includes all disorders in which an area of the brain is temporarily or permanently affected by bleeding or lack of blood flow. Cerebrovascular diseases included stroke, carotid stenosis, vertebral stenosis and intracranial stenosis, aneurysms and vascular malformations. Restrictions in blood flow may occur from vessel narrowing (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), blockage (embolism), or blood vessel rupture (hemorrhage). Lack of sufficient blood flow (ischemia) affects brain tissue and may cause a stroke. Cerebrovascular Disease Statistics Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Of the more than 700,000 people affected every year, about 500,000 of these are first attacks, and 200,000 are recurrent. About 25 percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another stroke within five years. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability. Each year, an estimated 30,000 people in the United States experience a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and as many as 6 percent may have an unruptured aneurysm."

The general physician should be familiar with the diagnostic capabilities of all these tests and should be able to interpret the results of the lumbar puncture. Lumbar Puncture Technique The technique of lumbar puncture is learned in the ward, so only a few points are made here. Spinal taps should not be done above the L2-3 interspace because the spinal cord may be present above this level. If the flow of spinal fluid is not brisk, the following check is simple (Figure 11-1 ): The manometer is tilted horizontally to increase the flow and then brought back to the vertical position so that the fluid falls to the true spinal fluid pressure. If this maneuver fails to increase the flow, the needle is not properly placed or a nerve root has blocked the needle. Fluid should not be aspirated because this may trap and damage nerve roots. If the initial CSF pressure is high (more than 180 mm H2O), the physician should try to let it fall without removing fluid; the patient should be encouraged to relax, and their neck and legs should, if necessary, be unflexed (thus reducing venous pressure). S/he should not be asked to hyperventilate (this causes cerebral vasoconstriction and lowers even truly high CSF pressures). S/he should be reassured, made comfortable, and allowed to rest for one minute (not much more)."

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a radiological technique of producing fine detailed images of the body without exposure to radiation. The radiofrequency waves generated in the presence of a strong magnetic field can generate cross sectional images which are then reconstructed as 3 dimensional pictures by a computer. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is a variant of the same technique that helps to visualize the blood vessels in the body. The images of the blood vessels are extremely detailed and can be viewed in all dimensions. The dye injected can help visualize blood vessels in most parts of the body. MRA is frequently the test of choice in individuals with a stroke, aneurysm and blood vessel problems in diabetics. What are some common uses of MRA? Assess blood circulation in the brain after a stroke Determine the status of carotid arteries (cause of stroke)Determine the presence of aneurysm and fistulas in the brain, spleen, kidney, lungs Determine disease of the heart and its branches Identify disease of the aorta and its branches Identify the blood supply to the kidney, liver, lungs Identify disease of blood vessels in the legs Identify causes of decreased blood flow to the arms Confirm disorders identified by ultrasound Are there any preparation (s) required for the procedure?

This causes a decrease in blood flow that can injure nerves and other tissues. Fig.1: Leg arteries Causes, incidence, and risk factors Arteriosclerosis, or \"\"hardening of the arteries,\"\" commonly shows its effects first in the legs and feet. The narrowing of the arteries may progress to total closure (occlusion) of the vessel. The vessel walls become less elastic and cannot dilate to allow greater blood flow when needed (such as during exercise). Calcium deposits in the walls of the arteries contribute to the narrowing and stiffness. The effects of these deposits may be seen on ordinary X-rays and on angiograms (see Fig.53 under coronary atherosclerosis ). This is a common disorder, usually affecting men over 50 years old. People are at higher risk if they have a personal or family history of coronary artery disease (heart disease) or cerebrovascular disease (stroke) (see Fig4: Cerebrovascpad below), diabetes, smoking, hypertension, or kidney disease involving hemodialysis.

You may have one or more of the following imaging exams: CT scan MRI angiography (MRA)Cerebral angiogram Lumbar puncture CT scan and CT angiography (CTA): A CT scan of the brain is often the first test your neurosurgeon will request. A CT scanner uses x-rays to create images of very thin sections of your brain that help identify the location and size of an aneurysm. It also helps determine if there is blood leaking from the aneurysm. A CTA is a CT scan taken after a small amount of dye is injected. The CTA produces images of the blood vessels and can show aneurysms. MRI or MRI angiography (MRA): An MRI or MRA are additional methods of determining the location, size and condition of an aneurysm, and whether the aneurysm is bleeding into the skull.

MRA is considered appropriate when it can replace a more invasive test (e.g., contrast angiography) and reduce risk for members. While MRA is a rapidly evolving technology, its clinical safety and effectiveness for all anatomical regions have not been established by the peer- reviewed medical literature. Head and Neck MRA of the head and neck is considered medically necessary for any of the following conditions: As a follow-up study for a known arterio-venous malformation (AVM), and for a known non-ruptured intra-cranial aneurysm (ICA) that is greater than 3 mm in size; or To definitively establish presence of stenoses or other abnormalities of the vertebrobasilar system in members with symptoms highly suggestive of vertebrobasilar syndrome (binocular vision loss, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, positional vertigo); or To evaluate members with signs/symptoms highly suggestive of leaking/ruptured ICA or AVM (i.e., blood in the cerebral spinal fluid, stiff neck, sudden explosive headache); or To evaluate pulsatile tinnitus in members with signs or symptoms suggestive of a vascular lesion; or To rule out ICA, including aneurysms of the circle of Willis, in members who are thought to be at higher risk (e.g., history of ICA in a first-degree relative or presence of polycystic kidney disease); or To evaluate conditions of the carotid arteries such as: Aneurysm tumor Cervicocranial arterial dissection in members with suggestive signs or symptoms (e.g., amaurosis fugax, oculo-sympathetic palsy, symptoms of focal brain ischemia, and unilateral headache)Injury to the carotid artery Stenotic/occlusive disease in asymptomatic members who are candidates for carotid endarterectomy surgery (CEA) when a Duplex Doppler scan is abnormal Stenotic/occlusive disease in symptomatic members (e.g., cerebro-vascular disease or transient ischemic attack). Note: As MRA is considered an alternative to angiography for evaluation of the carotids, a subsequent angiography would only be considered medically necessary if there was a significant discrepancy between the findings of Duplex ultrasonography and MRA that would impact on surgical planning. Chest MRA of the chest is considered medically necessary for any of the following indications: For diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-operative follow-up for conditions of the thoracic aorta such as aneurysm (true or pseudoaneurysm), dissection, or stenotic/occlusive vascular disease; or For diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-operative surgical shunt evaluation in members with congenital heart disease (CHD) or developmental anomalies of the thoracic vasculature (e.g., atresia or hypoplasia of the pulmonary arteries, coarctation of the aorta, double aortic arch, interrupted inferior vena cava, partial anomalous venous connection, persistent left superior vena cava, right-sided aortic arch, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, and truncus arteriosus); or For diagnosing a suspected pulmonary embolism when the use of intravascular iodinated contrast material is contraindicated, or as a substitute for pulmonary angiography when a ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan does not provide sufficient information for treatment decisions; or For pulmonary venous and left atrial evaluation, pre- and post-radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Spine MRA of the spinal canal is considered medically necessary for individuals with known cases of spinal cord arterio-venous fistula and arterio-venous malformation. MRA of the spinal canal is considered experimental and investigational for all other indications. Abdomen MRA of the abdomen is considered medically necessary for any of the following indications: To assess of the main renal arteries for the evaluation of renal artery stenosis in persons with refractory uncontrolled hypertension * not due to pheochromocytoma; or To assess persons with sickle cell disease; or To assess pelvic (e.g., aorto-iliac) arteries for stenoses in members with peripheral vascular disease; or To evaluate endoleaks following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm; or To evaluate hepatic vasculature prior to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS); or To determine the extent of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and associated occlusive disease in members undergoing elective repair; or To evaluate for chronic mesenteric ischemia. * Refractory hypertension is defined as diastolic blood pressure consistently greater than 100 mm Hg on 3 or more blood pressure medications."

If a tumor is suspected, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Medical history and physical exam If your child has symptoms that suggest a brain or spinal cord tumor, the doctor will get a complete medical history, focusing on the symptoms and when they began. The doctor will also do a neurologic exam to check your child’s brain and spinal cord function, if possible. Depending on the child’s age, the exam may test reflexes, sensation, muscle strength, vision, eye and mouth movement, coordination, balance, alertness, and other functions. If the results are abnormal, your child’s doctor may refer you to a neurologist (a doctor specializing in medical treatment of nervous system diseases) or a neurosurgeon (a surgeon specializing in nervous system diseases), who will do a more detailed exam and might order other tests. Imaging tests Your child’s doctors may order one or more imaging tests. These tests use x-rays, strong magnets, or radioactive substances to create pictures of internal organs such as the brain and spinal cord. The pictures may be looked at by doctors specializing in this field (neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroradiologists) as well as by your child’s primary care doctor."

Brake vacuum servo section A vacuum servo is a component used on motor vehicles in their braking system, to provide assistance to the driver by decreasing the braking effort. In the US it is commonly called a brake booster. Contents1 History2 Background3 Brake booster4 Notes History [ edit]Albert Dewandre (Liege, Belgium), an engineer and business owner, was the inventor of servo-brake or brake booster system “Dewandre” in 1927. It is a brake boosting system that uses the depression caused by the suction in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine to reduce the pressure on the brake pedal. The advantage of the Deandre system is twofold: a softer push on the brake pedal, but also a notably shorter braking distance. His invention was manufactured and sold through the Robert Bosch company."

"text": "\"Vara Mayur, works at EPP Composites Answered Nov 24, 2015Summary The hydraulic brake booster uses hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump rather than engine vacuum to provide the power assistance required. Although not as common as a conventional brake system fitted with a vacuum booster, many vehicles are now equipped with hydraulically assisted boosters for the brakes. The system uses hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump rather than engine vacuum to provide the power assistance required in a conventional system. This application is particularly suitable to vehicles with diesel engines as a separate vacuum source does not have to be provided for the system to operate. Because the system uses fluid pressure from the existing power steering pump the booster uses the pressure from the fluid that is always circulating through it, as the source of pressure that applies against the master cylinder actuating piston. The hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump is stored in an accumulator, which is then routed to the master cylinder by the hydraulic booster unit when the brake pedal is applied. When applied the booster can generate pressures of between 1,200 to 2,000 psi or 8273 to13789 Kpa to the brake calipers. The systems are generally available with or without a matched the master cylinder. The systems that have an included master cylinder have a reservoir as part of the assembly. As a safety measure part of the system includes a component to assist in the maintenance of system pressure known as an \"\"accumulator.\"\""

"text": "Why Does a Car Stall When You Brake?by Contributor Overview Brake System The brake system is composed of the disk brakes in the front end and/or rear of the vehicle that connects to a system of tubes and hoses. This system works through the master cylinder as the driver steps on the brake pedal that pushes a plunger against it. The action forces hydraulic oil (or brake fluid) through the tubes and hoses into the braking unit at each wheel. The brake fluid forces the caliper inside the master cylinder to press against the piston. The two brake pads squeeze on the rotor attached to the wheel to slow down or make a complete stop. The parking brakes, power brake booster and anti-lock system are also connected with the brake system. Stalling One way the car stalls is if there is a leak in the brake booster, either by a blockage of the vacuum hose or a cracked, ruptured or leaking diaphragm. Another is the master cylinder leaking brake fluid, either internally or externally from the cylinder boot. Stalling can also happen if there is a brake line obstruction, either by a chunk of rust or a pinched brake line. Air in the brake fluid from a hole in the system can prevent proper pressure to the brakes."

"text": "Master Cylinder FAQ’s For Classic Car Owners Posted by toby on Jan 6, 2015 9:33:40 AMTweet The master cylinder is a critical component of your brake system. Should a master cylinder fail, we have a safety problem that is even more compounded if you are driving a classic car with a single reservoir master cylinder. In addition to our own safety, we also endanger the drivers sharing the road with us. This post offers a brief description of how the master cylinder works, explains why the unit may fail, and offers some answers to commonly asked questions. The master cylinder converts non-hydraulic pressure generated by your foot into hydraulic pressure by storing and delivering brake fluid to the brake calipers to slow or stop the car. A master cylinder has external and internal seals. Over time, when these seals break down, fluid can leak out of the unit, or leak past the inner seals instead of routing brake fluid to the calipers. If your master cylinder is going bad, you’ll likely feel a spongy pedal when you apply the brakes, or the pedal will drop to the floor while holding the car at a complete stop. In our tech area, you’ll find our Master Cylinder FAQ answering common questions from classic car owners.

"text": "\"Vacuum Booster Operation Vacuum brake assist units use a large round flexible diaphragm enclosed in an assembly to create two distinct vacuum chambers. The pedal side of the diaphragm has two valves attached to the pedal arm. These valves work together to control booster operation. A brake booster needs the right amount of vacuum to operate correctly. This is typically engine manifold vacuum (17-21Hg). On some engines, particularly diesels, an auxiliary pump is used to create vacuum. This vacuum is applied to both sides of the booster. Both the pedal side and the master cylinder side. As the driver presses the brake pedal, the vacuum valve blocks the vacuum source located on the pedal side of the booster. At the same time the air valve moves allowing atmospheric pressure in."

"text": "Hydraulic Brake Booster: How It Works Posted on November 23, 2015Braking systems that use a hydraulic brake booster are known for being sensitive, needing only about half of the applied pedal pressure to create the same amount of brake pressure as conventional vacuum booster brakes. Because of this and other reasons, they are widely sought after for diesel engines, but they are still the minority compared to vacuum brake boosters. While vacuum boosters took the braking system to a whole new level, the hydraulic brake system refined power brakes, making them more efficient, more powerful, and overall more beneficial to almost any type of car. First introduced by General Motors in the 1990s, several of their trucks (particularly ones with diesel engines) came equipped with this hydroboost brake system. Since then, it has become hot rod refurbishers’ secret weapon. How Hydraulic Brake Boosters Work Your car has several intricate systems that allow you to steer, brake, speed up, and start the engine. The goal of hydraulic boosters was to use a system already in place for almost all vehicles in order to power the brakes. That system is the power steering. When you steer, fluid pressure is built up in the power steering pump due to the constant circulation of the power steering fluid. This hydraulic pressure, in a hydraulic brake booster system, is then stored in an area called an “accumulator.”"

Although these spidery, reddish blemishes don’t pose a serious health risk, you may want to get rid of them for cosmetic reasons. It’s a fairly common condition, which is why we’ve brought in four experts to share their expertise on the key causes, along with the most effective treatment and prevention options. Broken Capillaries1 Overview2 Causes3 Treatments4 Prevention Drs. Schwartz, Mardirossian, Shainhouse and Cheung Overview What are broken capillaries?“Broken capillaries, commonly known as spider veins, or by medical terminology telangiectasias, are tiny blood vessels that we see on the surface of the skin,” says Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schwartz. “ Most of these blood vessels are capillaries which connect arteries and veins. Aside from the face, broken capillaries are also commonly found on the legs, especially at the ankles and knees. ”Causes Key causes of broken capillaries Broken blood vessels can be due to a number of different causes, the most common being damage to the skin from irritation, inflammation, and repeated exposure to the sun. While some causes are preventable, others are beyond control. Genetics“This is one of the prime factors responsible for the development of dilated capillaries,” says facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vartan Mardirossian from Jupiter, FL. “"

Last reviewed Tue 13 September 2016By Brian Wu Reviewed by Katie Mena, MDCauses Diagnosis Treatment Telangiectasias are small, broken, or widened blood vessels found near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. They typically appear as fine pink or red lines and will whiten when under pressure. Once the telangiectasia appears on the skin, the tiny lines can range in color from red through blue and purple. Telangiectasias typically measure between 1 and 3 millimeters in width. They are usually harmless but can cause itching and be painful because of pressure on the small veins. They commonly occur on the face, nose, chin, and cheek. Facial redness caused by telangiectasias on the face are due to broken blood vessels or spider veins in the face. Telangiectasias are also found on the legs, chest, back, arms, and legs. Those that appear on the legs are referred to as spider veins."

"text": "Capillaries are the smallest and most fragile of the body's blood vessels. They are responsible for what is known as microcirculation, meaning that they create a circulatory network within the organs of the body. There are three different types found in the human body: continuous, fenestrated, and sinusoidal. The differences in the various types is due to their location in the body as well as their particular function. The role of the capillary is to connect the arterioles and the venules. Arterioles are small blood vessels that branch out from arteries, while the venules branch out from veins. Arteries are the vessels that carry clean, nutrient- and oxygen -rich blood from the heart to the remainder of the body. Veins carry the blood back to the heart once the nutrients have been absorbed by the various cells and tissues of the body. Each individual capillary does not work alone, as these vessels form a network in order to carry out their role in the circulatory system. Continuous capillaries get their name from the fact that the cells forming them provide a continuous lining with no interruptions."

The collarbone (clavicle) is one of the main bones of the shoulder joint. It holds the shoulder up and, along with the shoulder blade (scapula) and acromioclavicular (AC) joint, provides stability and strength to the shoulder. The collarbone also protects nerves and blood vessels from the neck to the shoulder. What causes a broken collarbone? A broken collarbone is usually caused by direct contact to the collarbone or to the outside of the shoulder. This often occurs when playing sports such as football, wrestling, or ice hockey. The collarbone is one of the most commonly broken ( fractured) bones. Young men ages 13 to 20 break it most often. Younger children have greater chances of a broken collarbone during play."

"text": "What Causes Eye Capillaries to Burst?by DR. BERNADETTE HROMIN, MD Aug. 14, 2017When a capillary in the white part of the eye bursts -- called a subconjunctival hemorrhage -- the appearance of blood can be rather dramatic and alarming. Often, there is no history of trauma to the eye -- the blood simply appears spontaneously. Subconjunctival hemorrhage is usually not indicative of any underlying disease. However, it can be associated with eye rubbing, infections, blood disorders, medication use and increased blood pressure to the head, as in coughing or vomiting. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Pressure Buildup Subconjunctival hemorrhage has a reported incidence of nearly 3 percent, which increases with age. This corresponds to the fragility of aging eye vessels, as with all the blood vessels of the body, increases with age. Certain activities, like lifting heavy objects, straining during a difficult bowel movement, sneezing, vomiting or even coughing to clear the throat can increase venous pressure to the head. This backup of pressure in the veins travels through to the tiniest vessels in the eye, sometimes causing the capillaries to burst. Irritants on the Surface If a person suffers from eye allergies, he may tend to rub the eyes to relieve the itch."

Updated on April 16, 2017Cindy Lawson more The author formerly worked at a veterinary practice in the Channel Islands. Her interests include fishing, gardening, and singing. Contact Author A broken blood vessel in the eye is known as a sub-conjunctival haemorrhage. It can look pretty horrific (as in the above image), but it will not cause any damage to your eyesight. It is, however, cosmetically unpleasant. Normally, the first thing you will notice is an unsightly red patch over part, or all, of the white of your eye. Most of the time they will appear with no apparent cause (although, they can be triggered by trauma to the eye amongst other things that I shall cover below). More often than not, you will not feel any pain or sensation when you have experienced a sub-conjunctival haemorrhage, although occasionally you might feel a slight stinging or irritation. The leaked blood is held in place by the conjunctiva, (a thin membrane that covers the surface of your eye)."

"text": "Isabelle Plasschaert/Photolibrary/Getty Images A brooder usually refers to some type of heated enclosure for raising baby poultry, whether they are baby chicks, turkey poults, or goslings. Typically, a brooder includes a heat lamp, a source of food and water for the chicks and bedding such as pine shavings. A screen enclosure on top can be very helpful to keep out curious pets and children. These brooders can also be called mini-coops. Chicken brooders are available pre-built, but you can also make your own chicken brooder. Tips for Using Your Brooder Here are a few things to keep in mind if you build your own brooder or are using a pre-built brooder: Baby chickens need least one square foot of space per chick. A part of that space is fine for a few weeks so you can move them into a larger space as they grow. That's just the basic rule of thumb, especially if you do not want to transition them int a larger coop. Building your own poultry brooder? Make sure the space is at least 12 inches tall for chicks in weeks one to three."

I have seen such a variety of recommendations that I am confused. I have seen recommendations that range from 92 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature range where they thrive the best? A: It concerns me that anyone would recommend 92 degrees Fahrenheit as an acceptable brooding temperature for a day-old chick. Newly hatched chicks do not thrive well at temperatures this low. Low brooding temperatures such as these can cause slow passage of food and severely hinder normal development. Anyone who recommends temperatures lower that 95 degrees Fahrenheit or higher than 98 degrees Fahrenheit is misinformed."

Baby chicks have the remarkable ability to find their ideal zone of warmth in the brooder and if you simply note your chicks’ positions, you’ll know whether the brooder temperature is too hot, not warm enough, or juuuuust right. Temperature Correct If the heat level is just right, chicks will be evenly spread throughout the brooder. With adequate food and fresh water, you’ll hear them making contented peeping sounds. Temperature Too High If your chicks are spread out around the perimeter of the brooder the temperature is likely too high. Raise the heat lamp another couple of inches and/or switch to lower wattage bulbs. The chicks will be silent and you may notice them panting and heads drooping. Temperature Too Low If the brooder is too cool, chicks will huddle together directly under the heat lamp. They will be noisy, a sign of distress. Lower the lamp closer to the floor of the brooder and/or put in higher watt bulbs."

Knowing the secrets to success for raising chicks makes all the difference. Baby chicks: what you’re up against To best care for baby chicks, it helps to understand what is happening in that crucial first week after hatching. At this point, the chicks are weaning off of their yolk nutrition, adapting to a new environment, and learning to eat and drink. Your job is to help them face all these challenges in the best possible way so that the foundation of their lifelong health is established. Doing so means providing the following: The perfect balance of temperature in the brooder. An environment that encourages chick curiosity and hunger.

First, it is best to collect your eggs as soon as possible, eggs that have been sitting in the nest box for several days are less likely to hatch than those collected daily. If it’s possible, collect your eggs twice a day, morning and afternoon. You will only want to incubate clean, fresh eggs. Dirty eggs generally won’t hatch as the bacteria on the egg will go into the egg and kill the chick. You don’t want to wash the egg and then try to incubate it either."

"text": "How to Build a Brooder By Brian Barth on April 15, 2015Share744 Tweet Pin153 Reddit Email Whats App897Shutterstock Last week we covered egg incubation, the art and science of coaxing life from a chicken embryo. If the thrice-daily egg-turning scared all the chicken-parenting instincts out of you, fear not: order some day-old chicks and skip straight to the infant stage. Raising chicks is infinitely easier than incubating eggs, but there is still much more to it than just plopping them in a coop. They need a toasty-warm mini-coop—a brooder—to nurture them into toddlerhood. If they had a mother of their own, the chicks would crowd under her feathers at night for warmth, and she would show them how to forage and keep them safe by pecking viciously at any predator that came lurking. There are many ways to build a brooder, but they all have to fulfill the basic needs of an orphan chick for the first six weeks of its life: food, water, warmth and protection. Step 1 — Build a Container Build is a relative term here. Many people raise chicks in a cardboard box. Play pens, kiddie pools, rabbit hutches, aquariums, plastic totes and other items likely to be found in a garage, barn or basement will suffice. You can build a custom chick mansion with private bedrooms for each one if you want, but the general rule of thumb is to provide at least one square foot of space per chick."

Items you will need: A clean warm draft free environment Fresh clean water at all times Chick starter feed Time to be able to check on your babies several times a day Supplies needed for raising baby chicks: Brooder Heat Lamp Thermometer Waterer Feeder The first thing you will need for raising baby chicks is a brooder. Brooders come in many different shapes and sizes. It can be a plastic tote, an old dog kennel/airline carrier, plastic swimming pool or a cardboard box. It needs to provide a space that gives the baby chicks a heat controlled draft free environment. Allow at least 1 - 2 square feet for each baby chick. In this case bigger is not better. Your brooder should provide protection from dogs, cats and other chicken predators. To protect your baby chicks from predators make a top out chicken wire so that it covers your entire brooder. Heat For raising baby chicks start your brooding temperature at 95 degrees and reduce it by 5 degrees every week."

I’m here to let you in on a secret… it’s not. Forget fumigation and floating techniques. It’s really no different than incubating a chicken egg. The only difference is that it takes less time and you might as well forget about candling. You simply pop your eggs in the incubator and start the clock (well, if you have an egg turner, otherwise you do have to turn them). Incubating Coturnix Quail Eggs Coturnix quail go from being an egg to laying eggs in 8-9 weeks. Crazy, right? The first 17 days are spent incubating and days 18 and sometimes 19 are spent hatching. Much like chickens, there is no calendar in that egg, so quail chicks may begin to arrive as early as day 16 and as late as day 20."

"text": "Raising Emus RAISING EMUSEmu’s are an ostrich type bird from Australia. They are a member of the ratite family (flightless birds such as Ostriches, Rhea, Cassowary and Kiwi) and can be around 5′ tall, weighing between 100?150 pounds when an adult. A 6′ tall fence, which is buried below ground at least 6″ is advised. 30′ by 30′ is a minimum pen size for a mated pair during season. An 80′ x 80′ pen may be needed for some birds. The posts should be placed outside the fence fabric. We prefer a strong welded wire fabric (2″ x 4″) that will not allow the birds to stick their head through, nor allow predators inside. The posts should be outside the fabric. These birds can withstand our winters, but you must provide a dry shelter that keeps the birds out of the wind and moisture. Most birds are penned up inside, to help prevent predator problems."

"text": "\"Categories: All > Chicken Care > Predators All Q: What do I need to know about house cats if I keep chickens? A: Name: House cat Felis catus Description: House cats are small, carnivorous mammals with retractable claws kept as pets or found feral. They come in many different fur colorations and patterns, and adults typically weigh 8 - 11 pounds, although some can be much larger. Distribution/Habitat: Found throughout the world Hunting Behavior: Domestic house cats very rarely attack adult chickens, but they will be a serious danger to baby chicks, and occasionally to juvenile birds or small bantams. My cats run from my chickens, even from the bantams! That said occasionally we do hear from people whose cats seem interested in their adult birds. Since many of the most common chickens are just as big as house cats, this is pretty rare. If a cat kills an adult chicken it would be something of a struggle, and the chicken is just as likely to do damage to the cat. Cats are carnivores, sure, but their preferred prey are very small birds, rodents, small rabbits and so on, not your eight pound hen! When a cat kills a chick, if it is in the brooder, it may kill or hurt several at once just from having trod on them in an enclosed location... and if that cat is yours, she may actually bring you one or two as a \"\"gift.\"\""

Share this: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Emailby Jennifer Sartell of Iron Oak Farm If you’ve been following me here on Community Chickens, the Iron Oak Farm Facebook Page or on our You Tube Channel, I’ve been documenting the progression of our Black Spanish turkey hatch. I’ve been sharing videos and photos covering each step of this exciting time. Some of the topics I’ve covered have included: How to program the incubator settings for turkeys; Hatch Day The transition period from incubator to brooder First Day in the Brooder I even cover how to help out a broody turkey hen so she can do the work for you in my post DIY Turkey Nest Box. Ideally, I wanted our hen to hatch out a brood of turkeys and raise them herself. But in the past two springs, our turkeys hens have proven to be lacking in the maternal instinct department. This year I was determined to hatch out some turkey poults, even if it meant using an incubator. I’ve been calling them our “back up” eggs because in the past, our turkey hens have been spotty with their nesting habits and have failed to hatch us out any poults. The ironic thing is that this year, we’ve decided to hatch out some of our own, and it seems like our hens are more diligent than ever. So we might have a lot of turkeys this year!Throughout this process many of you have asked several questions about hatching turkeys, and I’ve picked up a common theme from your comments that there isn’t a lot of information out there on breeding and hatching turkeys."

"text": "When are Chicks Ready Question When are Chicks Ready: I was wondering: How long does it take for a store bought chick that’s been hatched to go in to a bigger coop from its small warm more protective coop? Answer It’s good to keep chicks in a brooder with a heat lamp until they out grow it, either too crowded or the chicks are getting too tall. When young, one of the most important things in their care is that they stay warm enough. Different breeds mature differently, so I couldn’t say at what age yours would be ready for an outdoor coop. I like to provide a heat lamp for chicks until I see they never use it. Removing their source of heat, when temperatures are cold, or they can’t get warm enough, will cause serious and possibly life threatening health problems. A group of chicks can help keep each other warmer, but not as warm as a mother hen or heat lamp. Moving them to a coop has a lot to do with the safety there as well as warmth. Putting chicks in with adult chickens can be dangerous for the chicks. They may get picked on and bullied and not do well."

"text": "�Care of Baby Chicks 1Christopher De Cubellis 2Each year many people enjoy ordering chicks from a hatchery or purchasing young chicks from a feed store. These chicks are raised primarily for home laying flocks. Some of these chickens are raised for the family table, while others are kept mainly as pets. Whatever purpose the adult chickens serve, special care must be given to young chicks in order for them to survive and grow into healthy adults. Care of Chicks Chicks, or “biddies” are very delicate and need special care in order to survive, grow, and become productive adults. Thinking about what chicks need before they arrive will help ensure a healthy flock of chickens. Chicks need a clean environment that protects them from drafts and keeps them at the proper temperature. Their environment must provide them with constant access to food and water; it should have proper flooring material, and be located in a safe place away from predators. A brooder is usually used to provide all of these necessities for the chick, especially in late winter and early spring when most people obtain chicks and temperatures are still cool. Brooder Requirements Brooders can range from a commercially purchased metal or wire brooder (see Figure 1) to a cardboard box equipped to handle chicks."

The ribs serve as an important protector that keeps many of your decidedly squishy organs from harm during everyday life. When pain comes from under or behind the ribs, we tend to take notice. The right rib cage protects many organs involved in the cardiovascular and digestive systems so any pain from under the right rib cage is likely to be connected to one of these. Understanding possible culprits and what signs and symptoms to look for is the first step in seeking treatment and eventual relief. So if you’ve ever wondered “Why do my ribs hurt,” read on for answers. In this article: Pain Under Right Rib Cage: Causes Treating Pain under the Right Rib Cage Pain Under Right Rib Cage: Causes Injury Technically, this would result in pain in the rib cage itself, but the distinction can be hard to make at times. Rib pain from injury tends to involve either the rib bones themselves or the intercostal muscles, which connect to the ribs. The nature of the injury will dictate the kind of pain you feel. Bruising or inflammation may produce a dull pain under the right rib cage or sore ribs in general, but a broken bone or fracture could cause a sharp pain instead. If you have experienced recent physical trauma, then it’s important to be aware of the signs of a broken rib."

Bruised Ribs: Overview Bruised ribs may be an uncommon injury to sustain, but when it happens, it can be very painful. The ribcage consists of twelve pairs of ribs, with tendons and muscles in between. The typical way ribs get bruised is by something coming into strong contact with them; some kind of blunt force trauma. Kicks, intense falls, car accidents, or crushing them against something (such as playing a high-impact sport like hockey or football) are all common ways to bruise ribs, but on occasion the injury can even be caused by excessive coughing. Symptoms of bruised ribs include sharp pains under the rib cage and a feeling of only being able to take in short breaths. Since they can’t be compressed into a cast like other broken bones, the only course of treatment for bruised ribs is to let nature do its thing and ride it out for three to six weeks—while taking measures to not aggravate the injury any further. How to Tell If You Have Bruised Ribs: Understanding the Symptoms Determining if you have bruised ribs isn’t that difficult once you know what to look for. The first indication of bruised ribs is pain in your torso. An inability to take a deep breath, or feeling pain when breathing are other signs of a possible injury sustained to the ribs. Below is a checklist of bruised ribs symptoms to help you determine whether that’s what you are experiencing: The area is tender to the touch It is hard to breathe It isn’t comfortable sleeping on the side that received the impact An actual bruise has developed at the site Swelling around the area The pain intensifies when you move Rib injuries can also lead to complications; lung infections and pneumonia are two possibilities to watch for if a rib injury is suspected."

Causes of Pain under Left Rib Cage One of the possible causes of severe pain is a spasm of the spleen. Some experience a chronic ache while others report intermittent hurt. If the pain is sharp, it could be due to problems related to the colon. An enlarged spleen may also be the reason for the throbbing. If the spleen is infected, there could be some soreness. Problems with the colon could range from splenic flexure of the colon to cancer. Another possible cause is inflammation of the cartilage. This will be around the breastbone."

"text": "Rib Injury, The Annoying Pain by Fotopoulou Sophia Archived in Medicine section | Latest Approved Revision on: Wed. 02/19/2003The human body has twelve pairs of ribs; ten pairs attach to the spine and wrap around to attach to the sternum in the front of the chest, and the two lower pairs only attach to the spine in the back. The ribs serve to protect the internal organs, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, from injury. The bones have a lot of nerve endings so when damage occurs, pain is significant. Clinical Symptoms A patient with an isolated rib fracture or a minor costochondral separation usually has a history of falling on the side of the chest, being struck by a blunt object, coughing violently or leaning over a rigid edge. The initial chest pain may subside, but over the next few hours or days pain increases with movement, interfering with sleep and activity and becoming severe with coughing or deep inspiration. The patient is often worried about having a broken rib, and may have a sensation of bony crepitus or abnormal rib movement. Breath sounds bilaterally should be normal unless there is substantial splinting or a pneumothorax or hemothorax is present. There is point tenderness over the site of the injury and occasionally bony crepitance can be felt. The general principle for treating broken bones is to put them back into the right place anatomically, and allow time for healing."

If you play a contact sport or have experienced trauma to the torso, such as after a car accident, you could be experiencing bruised ribs. This means the tissue around the ribs has been injured, but the bones themselves are not cracked or fractured. Bruised-rib symptoms include abdominal or chest pain that worsens when you sneeze, take a deep breath or cough forcefully. If you do experience bruised ribs, there are methods to deal with the pain while your body recovers. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Ice your affected ribs. You can purchase an ice pack or create your own by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and covering the bag with a hand towel. Apply the ice to the area in 10- to 15-minute increments. Icing the area helps to relieve inflammation and its associated pain. Step 2Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen or ibuprofen."

"text": "What Are the Treatments for a Rib Muscle Injury?by NANCY CLARKE Nov. 20, 2017A rib muscle injury can be more difficult to treat than a pulled muscle in other areas. There are three layers of muscles located between each rib -- the external intercostal muscles, internal intercostal muscles, and innermost intercostal muscles. Any of these layers can be pulled, producing a rib, or intercostal, muscle strain. A direct blow to the chest, sudden twisting of the upper body or sudden forceful movement of the arm can cause an acute strain that begins abruptly. Repetitive movements of the chest or arms, such as those caused by rowing, baseball throwing or frequent coughing, can cause a chronic strain that begins gradually. Every time you breathe, the rib muscles move, further irritating these muscles. Treatments generally include rest, local cold or heat and medications. Massage, epsom salt baths, injections and physical therapy may be tried as well. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Rest Any movement of the chest can stretch the rib muscles, increasing inflammation and pain. Large movements of the arms will often stretch these muscles as well."

"text": "Bruised Spleen Symptoms Bruised spleen symptoms are not very clear, resulting in late diagnosis of the condition. Noticeable ones include abdominal pain, soreness in the abdomen, localized back pain, and low blood pressure amongst others. The spleen is a crucial organ of the immune system, responsible for preventing infections. It is located on the upper left side of the body, below the diaphragm (in the 9-12 ribs). Its susceptibility to injury is partly because of its position in the abdomen. Prior to discussing the bruised spleen symptoms, let's take a look at the important roles, which it plays in the overall functioning of the body. Functions This organ is a component of the lymphatic system. Until birth, it is crucial for production of blood cells. Whereas in adults, it does the main function of producing antibodies, getting rid of old RBCs (red blood cells), and digesting foreign substances. Any abnormality related to it can lead to medical conditions, which may be manifested as mild to severe signs."

Zaykoski•updated: 6/30/2011Genetic disorders are disorders concerning the DNA that is passed on from parents to their children. While this can be a frightening thing to think about, it is important to learn about the most common examples of genetic disordersso you can find out about treatment and preventive measures. What is a Genetic Disorder? A genetic disorder is a type of disease that occurs when there is some kind of change in the natural makeup of a person’s DNA. This happens when there are different mutations, or damage, in a person’s genes or chromosome lineup. A person generally develops a genetic disorder because the parents have passed it on, or there has been a history of a genetic disorder in the family. Common Genetic Disorders Examples of genetic disorders: Down Syndrome: Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of a certain chromosome present. Another cause for Down syndrome, although less likely, is a disease called Robertsonian translocation. This happens when two chromosomes break apart and then rejoin once again; this creates one cell with two chromosomes. One in every 800 births results in a baby with Down syndrome."

The hemoglobin , red blood cells, which Ferritin supports via iron is responsible for carrying oxygen rich blood throughout the entire body. When you get a bruise, the vascular structure (capillaries generally) leak blood. This blood is then, over time, 'cleaned up' by the body."

It sends messages in the cell, telling it to grow and make more cells, or else to stop when the body does not need more cells. Researchers believe that in MPD patients, the mutation in JAK2 enhances messages asking for more cell production. The result is too many blood cells which clog the blood and make it sticky. The JAK2 mutation (also called the V617F JAK2) is found in about:half of patients with too many platelets in their blood (ET)half of patients with too many fibroblasts in their blood (MF)95 per cent of patients with too many red cells in their blood (PV). The test for the JAK2 mutation is very simple and can be done on a teaspoon of blood; results generally take 1-2 weeks.

"text": "Pain Under Left Rib Cage: Common Causes and Treatments By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health A sharp, aching pain under your left rib cage may cause you panic because of the possibility that it is heart-related pain. While it is true that pain under your ribs on the left-hand side could be a sign of angina or another serious cardiac issue, there are other reasons for pain under your left ribs. For example, kidney disease, an enlarged spleen, heartburn, or other digestive issues can all be reasons for varying degrees of upper abdominal or chest pain on the left side of your body. Advertisement You should never ignore any kind of unexplained pain under your ribs or in your abdominal area. For example, chest pain caused by heartburn can sometimes be mistaken for cardiac arrest. An injury to your ribs, such as rib fracture, broken rib, bruised rib or pulled chest muscle will cause rib pain that may wrap around the ribs causing rib pain in the back. Rib injury will obviously be painful but it may also cause other painful complications like a collapsed lung, pleurisy, or costochondritis (painful inflammation of your sternum). The pain could be noticeable immediately after injuring your rib cage area or it can develop gradually over time. Some chest pains cause a burning, uncomfortable feeling behind your ribs. Other chest pains can resemble a dull ache that doesn’t go away."

Importance of the skin Any topical stimulus that is directed to influence and manipulate the internal or external organs must start with the skin. The body’s first contact with the outside world is through the skin and it is true to say that the skin is the mirror of our health. If a person has good health, his or her skin will be shiny, tight and smooth and will respond to temperature and will be warm when touched. The skin protects the body from pathogens and plays a role in a number of body functions. It is the main organ of sensation, through many millions of nerve endings contained in its structure."

Risks & 7 Natural Treatments363 4 286Do you tend to bruise easily and have trouble stoping cuts or wounds from bleeding? Or perhaps frequently get nosebleeds or bloody gums? If so, there’s a chance you have a low platelet count. Having a low platelet count — a condition called “thrombocytopenia” — is a problem with normal blood clotting and bruising that results from having low levels of thrombocytes , colorless blood cells produced by bone marrow. Thrombocytes are responsible for helping form blood clots in the arteries/veins and stopping bleeding. A low platelet count puts someone at a higher risk for internal bleeding or other blood clotting and blood vessel-related problems — and unfortunately can sometimes really take a toll on quality of life. Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura ( ITP) is the type of low platelet count caused by an autoimmune disease that affects how platelets are produced and used in the body. Autoimmune disorders, including arthritis, leukemia and lymphoma, can all trigger ITP, and factors like medication use and toxin exposure can also lower blood platelet counts."

A complete blood count determines the number of blood cells, including platelets, in a sample of your blood. In adults, normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. If the complete blood count finds you have fewer than 150,000 platelets, you have thrombocytopenia. Physical exam, including a complete medical history. Your doctor will look for signs of bleeding under your skin and feel your abdomen to see if your spleen is enlarged. He or she will also ask you about illnesses you've had and the types of medications and supplements you've recently taken. Your doctor may suggest that you undergo other tests and procedures to determine the cause of your condition, depending on your signs and symptoms. Treatment People with mild thrombocytopenia may not need treatment. For example, they may not have symptoms or the condition clears up on its own."

These are what the experienced acupuncturist or practitioner of TCM is looking for when you walk into their office with a complaint. Emotions are of course a natural part of being human. Feeling joy, sadness and anger and all perfectly normal experiences we have in our day to day lives. It is when these emotions become excessive, or are repressed and turned inward that they can become pathological and cause disease.

Tagged Under: Toenail Problems Advertisement A bruised toenail, though not a serious condition, can be very bothersome. A person with a bruised toenail, develops a dark blue or black colored spot on the toenail, which can be quite painful in some cases. A black toenail results from the collection of blood and fluids under the nail plate. It is also accompanied by swelling in many cases. How to Take Care of A Bruised Toenail In case the toenail has been injured and there is bleeding, it is advised that the toenail be wrapped with a bandage for an hour or so. The foot should be kept elevated till the bleeding stops. Ideally, the injured nail should be left in its place and not removed, as it helps the new nail to grow in the right place. The treatment depends on the presence or absence of the associated pain."

"text": "Broken toe definition and facts Readers Comments 88 Share Your Story Broken toes are often caused by trauma or injury. Prolonged repetitive movements can cause a type of broken toe called a stress or hairline fracture. Symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, stiffness, bruising, deformity, and difficultly walking. Possible complications of a broken toe include nail injury, compound fracture, infection, deformity, or arthritis. Seek immediate medical care if you suspect an open fracture of the toe; if there is bleeding; cold, numb, or tingling sensation; if the toe appears deformed or is pointing in the wrong direction; or blue or gray color to the injured area. A broken toe is diagnosed with a medical examination, which may include X-rays. To help decrease pain and swelling in a broken toe, elevate the foot, ice the injury, and stay off the foot. Depending on the severity of the fracture, the toe may need to be put back into place (reduced), and some compound toe fractures may require surgery. Pain from a broken toe can usually be controlled with over-the-counter pain medication. Buddy taping (taping the toe to an adjacent toe can be used to splint a fractured toe."

"text": "Toenail falling off Toenail falling off The loss of a toenail, also known as onychoptosis is a health problem wherein portion or entire toenail fall off the finger and could be mostly associated with two main causes: fungus infection and personal injury. In both these examples, the toenail is afflicted with destruction, loosens up from its foundation and has a tendency to come off. On the other hand, before it fall off from its foundation, it becomes stained. Because of this change in coloration, it is possible to recognize the specific root reason behind it. Onychoptosis may appear throughout or after some health problems, for example syphilis, from fever and as a side effect to medications. The most typical class of medications that will do this are medications used in malignant tumors therapy, however several others are able to do it likewise. Why do toenails fall off or onychoptosis causes A number of different forms of fungus infection could lead to onychoptosis by consuming fibrous structural proteins, the hard proteins which makes up toenails. It could contaminate one toenail or more. The fungus infection develops the top edge of the toenail initially, and at a later date, the bacterial infection progresses below the surface area of the toenail. The afflicted toenail brings plenty of discomfort and the toe could become inflamed."

"text": "Running Injury Prevention How to Prevent and Treat Black Toenails from Running By Christine Luff Updated July 18, 2017Share Pin Email Print Yuji Kotani/Taxi Japan/Getty Images It's common for runners, especially those training for long-distance running races, to get black or bruised toenails. Some long distance runners even consider getting a black toenail or losing a toenail a rite of passage. But, like other running ailments, it's possible to avoid getting black toenails. Here are tips to prevent and treat them. Symptoms of Black Toenails First, the toenail appears blackened and is painful. The black color is blood under the nail (from a blister) drying up. The nail will usually fall off when a new nail eventually grows in. Runners who are training for a marathon or do a lot of downhill running are the most likely candidates for black toenails because their toes are constantly rubbing up against the front of their shoes. You're also more likely to get black toenails if you run long distances in warmer weather because your feet swell more when it's hot. Cause of Black Toenails Black toenails are caused by constant hitting or rubbing of your toe against the front of your shoe."

Cutaneous melanoma can be described in the following ways: Superficial Spreading Melanoma Superficial Spreading Melanoma (SSM) accounts for approximately 70% of all diagnosed melanomas. It usually occurs in a previously benign (non-cancerous) mole and is most commonly found on the trunk and back in men and on the legs and back in women. What does Superficial Spreading Melanoma look like? Known as a dysplastic nevus, in early stages SSM may look like a freckle that is spreading sideways on the skin. Over time the pigmentation could darken or lighten, the area may itch, or the lesion could grow and develop increasingly irregular borders. SSM can progress rapidly, so if you see a lesion or mole that you suspect could be melanoma, have it checked out by a dermatologist immediately. Check out our pictures of melanoma for additional examples. The 4-by-8-mm, pink-tan lesion with irregular borders at the upper left (arrow) is a dysplastic nevus."

"text": "Bruising underneath a toenail can be caused by the constant pressure of uncomfortable shoes or frequent impacts associated with running, jumping, or kicking a ball. Also called a subungual hematoma, a bruised toenail can become tender as blood and fluid build up in the nail bed. Most bruised toenails can be treated at home by protecting the injured area, wearing tight but comfortable footwear, and avoiding intense physical activity. A toenail that causes discomfort should be assessed by a doctor, who can manually drain blood from the nail bed. When a bruised toenail is not painful or tender, it does not typically need to be treated. Instead, a person can simply take care to keep the toenail clipped to avoid snagging it on socks or shoes. If the affected nail becomes loose over time, it can be protected with a bandage to prevent it from completely falling off. Even when taking precautions, the nail may eventually separate from the bed due to insufficient blood flow. It is important to clean and protect the exposed area until a new nail grows into place, a process that may take several months. A person can relieve tenderness and prevent infection by soaking the toe in warm, soapy water once or twice a day."

There are many things you can do to keep your feet healthy, but there are some times when it's important to see an orthopaedic foot and ankle specialist to diagnose your foot or ankle problem. Skin Problems Sweaty feet can cause rashes and eczema. Wearing nylon socks in plastic shoes or tightly fitting shoes may not allow the feet to dry properly and can aggravate the problem. Changing socks every day and letting shoes dry out between wearings can help eliminate smelly feet. Wearing thick, soft cotton socks helps draw moisture away from the feet. True athlete's foot is a rash, often between the toes, caused by a fungus infection. Athlete's foot will usually respond to treatment with anti-fungal powders and lotions along with good foot hygiene. Poorly fitting shoes cause most calluses, corns and blisters. Poor shoe fit can aggravate other foot problems and result in irritation which may require medical attention."

"text": "Black toenail syndrome is a condition where one or more of the toenails turn black. The condition is very common in athletes, especially runners and because of this it is also called Runner’s Toes. Most distance runners develop it at some point and it often means nothing more than you are training hard and perhaps should wear your black toenail like a badge of honor. The medical term for a black toenail is a subungual hematoma which is simply means a bruise under the toenail. The black color of the nail comes from the dried blood. In spite of the name a black toenail can be any color of a bruise ranging from black to blue to deep purple. Black toenails are usually nothing to worry about and heal on their own. As the skin under the nail repairs itself the black toenail ultimately falls off, and a new nail grows back. The old nail can take months to detach and the new nail can take 6 months to a year to grow in. Cause One way that black toenails develop is repetitive trauma caused by ill-fitting shoes."

The condition of your nails can give an insight into the health of your heart, lungs, circulatory system and more. However, we don’t usually pay any attention to them until something goes wrong – like a purple fingernail Surprisingly there are a lot of different reasons why one or more of your fingernails can appear purple. I’m going to outline the most common ones and let you know the warning signs to look out for. Read on to find the answer to the question “what does a purple fingernail mean?”The Basics of Fingernail Health Before I begin, I must point out that everything I mention here about fingernails also applies to your toenails. They are essentially the same and both provide insight into your total body health. Your fingernails are made of layers of keratin. Keratin a strong and flexible protein also found in our hair. New nail growth comes from the white “half moon” area just under the cuticle. Healthy finger and toenails will always be pinkish in colour, depending on your particular skin tone."

Yes, running every day is one of the best ways to torch calories, tone your body, and improve your cardiovascular health — one recent study at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, even found that jogging beats weight training for getting rid of belly fat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans are:150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week75 minutes of high intensity exercise per week While 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of exercise time, it's not. Think about it. A great made for television movie lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes. And, even better, fitness experts tell us to break up exercise into smaller chunks of time during the day.

Square Measure This is used in measuring surfaces or things whose length and breadth are considered without regard to hight or depth, as sheeting, flooring, plastering, etc. Fig. 2 shows a square foot. In the measurement of lumber, square measure is frequently termed board measure, and when used as board measure the thickness is considered as one inch. A square is a figure which has four equal sides, and all its angles right angles, as shown in Fig. 2. Hence a square inch is a square the sides of which are each a lineal inch in length. A square foot is a square the sides of which are each a lineal foot in length, as represented in the diagram."

A There are as many answers to that question as there are houses. Typically a custom home averages about $150+ per square foot and will increase or decrease according to the items you choose for your home. Q What are some of the items that influence the final cost of a custom home the most? A From our experience, these items have the greatest effect on a finished home price: kitchens, floor coverings, type of windows, type of roof system, type of siding, size of decks, complicated floor plans, excavation, and finishes. There are other influences simply because each house is typically unique unto itself. Q How does the design process work?"

"text": "If you were to ask a group of production builders, “what is the best roofing material on the market today?”, they would likely tell you asphalt. For the average residential architect on the other hand, would likely say metal. Heaven only knows what a home owner would choose—asphalt, metal, slate, clay, concrete—or if they’ll even care at all. Most home owners care mostly about price, and don’t seem to care as much about material, as long as the roof functions properly and will last a little while into the foreseeable future. Now, production builders care about looks and function, too, but affordability is definitely top of mind, and architects, they want a roof to function well, but they are mostly concerned that it be aesthetically pleasing. If you were to ask a roofing contractor who deals in both metal and shingle, you would probably get this answer. Metal is best, but shingle is King. Metal will hands down outlast a shingle roof, virtually maintenance free, but can cost 2 to 3 times the cost of a shingle roof. As where shingle roofs today have warranties that can rival the best metal roofs, the material is easy to find, easy to install, easy to maintain, and let’s not forget, easy on your wallet too!Indeed, asphalt is easy to install and produces a decent-looking roof, but most architects, builders and contractors say the product is still King mainly because it’s economical."

"text": "Related Articles Tips for Laying Out a Stair Stringer The Best Way to Cut Stair Stringers How to Anchor Stairs How to Lay Out Stair Stringers for a Deck The key element in a set of stairs is a component you can’t see -- the stringers. Made from two-by-twelve lumber, stringers are the structural bones that hold the stairs in place. They tie the deck or landing to the floor or ground and look like a series of zigzag cuts made across a length of board. A builder’s square, also called a carpenter’s square, makes laying out stair stringers a quick task. Before laying them out and making the cuts, you’ll need to take some measurements and make a few calculations.1Measure the overall rise of the stringer. Rise is the vertical measurement from the landing to the ground or to the floor where the stairs stop. Rest a carpenter’s level flat against the landing, and keep the level’s bubble centered so that it indicates the instrument is perfectly level. Measure from the bottom of the level to the floor.2Calculate the number of steps you will need to make. Do this by dividing the rise measurement you just took by 7, which is an average rise expressed in inches, for each stair. Anywhere from 6 1/2 inches to 8 inches is an acceptable rise per stair."

"text": "\"Build cost estimator The most commonly asked question nowadays is ‘how much does it cost to build a house?’ The answer to that of course is, ‘for what exactly?’Anyone considering a self-build or renovation/extension project will want to be able to refer to a reasonably accurate price per square meter (sqm) or square foot (sqft). This gives you something to work to in principle and generally provides a starting point. But the reality is, on a home building project it’s impossible to do. You might as well pluck a figure out of the sky. Cookie cutter houses could arguably be priced relatively easily but in our experience Irish self-builders have very different tastes and budgets, and commission unique designs, which leads to a large variation in price. Self-builders and home improvers also tend to go for higher quality finishes and specifications, which can quickly add quite a bit to that sqm or sqft figure…So where do you start? A flavour of things to come The cost of a self-build, extension or renovation will vary wildly not only because of your choice of products/finishes and services/expertise but due to location too. While many items such as timber should cost roughly the same throughout Ireland, there can be as much as 10 per cent to 20 per cent in the difference. This will seem like very little when you compare the price per item but as soon as you multiply that by the quantity required on your build, the difference will add up."

"text": "VINYL SIDING COSTShown here is Norandex Vinyl Siding being installed. How much does vinyl siding cost? As a contractor that is usually the first thing out of the mouth of a homeowner that calls me to get a price quote. Even though this sounds like a simple question, it isn't. Vinyl Siding prices range from about $3 per square foot installed to well over $10 per square foot installed. Like all products vinyl siding comes in many different qualities. Some good and some much better. Better grades of siding will cost you more. Generally the thicker the siding is the better it is and the more it will cost. Insulated vinyl siding will cost more than non-insulated siding, but could save you money on energy costs for decades."

"text": "We are often asked about our competition’s “$38/square foot” price and how they can do it. First, just to let you know, they really can’t do it and when they advertise that, it’s really just smoke and mirrors – a way to grab your attention and lure you into their regular product. Besides, most builders only offer one or two at this bargain bottom price, although some of their typical approaches to budget building are discussed here. Foundations For example, with regards to foundations, there is little that can be done to make this cheaper other than getting rock bottom prices from subcontractors. Some companies even cut back on the use of structural steel to cut down on the price. Just because an engineer will sign it off, it doesn’t make it right. While other companies have whittled the price down so low that companies can’t make a profit and have either stopped doing work for the contractor, or have actually gone out of business as a result of the low prices. As for concrete and steel that go into foundations, the contractor is really held to a standard set by the IBC (International Building Codes) for the home. Builders can get very aggressive with the cost per yard or how much steel cost, but these are commodity products, with margins that are so low on those things, that no real “amazing” savings can generally occur. One way a builder can cause you problems is by not allowing a sufficient amount of concrete in his standard price to build your home."

In eight hours, and with pretty intense labor, we managed to get our holes dug, our concrete piers poured, and finally, revel in the excitement of having a finished foundation for our current house project. In this first how-to article, I’ll describe how we prepared the site and transferred our foundation plan to the ground using batter board layout. I’ll also explain why we chose a concrete pier design for this building. Why We Chose Concrete Piers The choice to use concrete was not an easy one for me. I’m actually not a big fan of the material (surprise, surprise). Concrete manufacturing is highly polluting, and the embodied energy in the material is likewise pretty intense. Not to mention, it’s non-biodegradable (a huge negative for me), so all of those buildings, roads, driveways, etc. around these days…?"

"text": "\"Bulletproof Vest Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background Bulletproof vests are modern light armor specifically designed to protect the wearer's vital organs from injury caused by firearm projectiles. To many protective armor manufacturers and wearers, the term \"\"bulletproof vest\"\" is a misnomer. Because the wearer is not totally safe from the impact of a bullet, the preferred term for the article is \"\"bullet resistant vest. \"\" Over the centuries, different cultures developed body armor for use during combat. Mycenaeans of the sixteenth century B. C. and Persians and Greeks around the fifth century B. C. used up to fourteen layers of linen, while Micronesian inhabitants of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands used woven coconut palm fiber until the nineteenth century. Elsewhere, armor was made from the hides of animals: the Chinese—as early as the eleventh century B. C. —wore rhinoceros skin in five to seven layers, and the Shoshone Indians of North America also developed jackets of several layers of hide that were glued or sewn together. Quilted armor was available in Central America before Cortes, in England in the seventeenth century, and in India until the nineteenth century. Mail armor comprised linked rings or wires of iron, steel, or brass and was developed as early as 400 B. C. near the Ukrainian city of Kiev. The Roman Empire utilized mail shirts, which remained the main piece of annor in Europe until the fourteenth century. Japan, India, Persia, Sudan, and Nigeria also developed mail armor."

It can be very confusing to say the least, and difficult to find clear, concise information about the basics. Safe Guard knows that whether you’re looking to furnish a security force with body armor, or you’re buying your first bullet proof vest, information about the very basics of protection is always useful. What is Body Armor, and How Does it Work? You may have heard the terms ‘body armor’, ‘bullet proof’ and ‘bullet resistant vest’ all used regularly, and interchangeably. But what do these terms actually mean? They are all interchangeable, but don’t necessarily mean the same thing. For example, ‘body armor’ can refer to any form of bullet proof vest, but may also include additional protection in the form of helmets, leg or groin protection, or even the specific plates used to provide you with protection. A bullet proof vest is fairly self explanatory, though there are many different types as Safe Guard Armor’s Resources Pages explain. ‘ Bullet resistant vests’ is another term for bullet proof vests that some prefer to use."

You Tube Screenshot Share Tweet Share E-mail In 2013, there were more than 84,000 gun-related injuries in the United States alone. Each one of these cases likely caused a great deal of pain, but what actually happens to your body when you get shot? BBC’s Brit Lab used a pig leg and some slow-motion cameras to find out. The BBC hosts fired a pistol at close range, driving the bullet into the pig’s leg — pig flesh is anatomically similar to humans. It only created a small hole, but it had enough force to penetrate all the way through. This wasn’t enough for the hosts, though, so they turned to ballistic gel, which has the consistency of human tissue, to see what happens on the inside. As the bullet moved through the gel, they found it left a huge tunnel behind. This happened because the bullet transfers some of its momentum to the gelatin, one of the hosts said."

"text": "\"An armed British police officer wearing a stab vest CSPBAA stab vest, or stab proof vest is a reinforced piece of body armor, worn under or over other items of clothing, which is designed to resist knife attacks to the chest, back and sides. Stab vests are different from bulletproof vests, most of which offer protection against firearms but afford little against stabbing with sharp-tipped objects such as knives; most stab vests afford less protection against bullets, particularly those of high caliber, but are designed to prevent serious injury by prohibiting knife penetration beyond a few millimeters. Stab vests are also needle and slash proof. Contents [ show]Standards Edit\"\"Ice pick\"\" tests Edit In the mid-1980s the state of California Department of Corrections issued a requirement for a body armor using a commercial ice pick as the test penetrator. The test method attempted to simulate the capacity of a human attacker to deliver impact energy with their upper body. As was later shown this test over stated the capacity of human attackers. The test used a drop mass or sabot that carried the ice pick. Using gravitational force, the height of the drop mass above the vest was proportional to the impact energy. This test specified 109 joules (81 ft·lbf) of energy and a 7.3 kg (16 lb) drop mass with a drop height of 153 cm (60 in) and an ice pick with a 4 mm (0.16 in) diameter with a sharp tip with a 5.4 m/s (17 ft/s) terminal velocity in the test. The California standard did not include knife or cutting edge weapons in the test protocol."

In other news, pigs dig mud, sword swallowing is dangerous and, apparently, winter likes to whack Buffalo. Some things never change. But for Federer, who has reached a record-tying nine of these prestigious finales, it's what happened just before he had a chance to complete his mission that created the biggest stir of the tournament. Speaking with a slow, somber intonation in his voice, Federer informed the 17,000 onlookers at the O2 Arena that he couldn't give it a go against Novak Djokovic; that his back was ailing from the night before when he saved four match points against Stan Wawrinka in a Houdini-esque semifinal escape. Federer looked bummed. Really bummed. After all, he's played 1,221 matches and has withdrawn from only three -- one of the great ironman feats in tennis. As Federer continued to address the crowd, we couldn't help but flash back to the more tenuous days of 2013, when he was busy falling in the second round of Wimbledon and laboring nearly as badly at the US Open. It was an astounding chain of events that quickly devolved into -- you guessed it -- a nauseating amount of retirement rhetoric."

The latter three auxiliary protectors are removable from the main vest, which can be worn alone. The IBA was designed in the late 1990s as a replacement for the PASGT vest; it comes in a variety of color schemes and camouflage patterns. It was used by most of the U. S. military's branches during much of the 2000s, and was even seeing limited use as late as 2015 among some National Guard units. Beginning in 2007 the Improved Outer Tactical Vest began to replace the IBA in the United States Army 's service and since then it has been mostly replaced in its inventory, with the exception of a few IBAs still in service with the Army National Guard and U. S. Army Reserve. The U. S. Marine Corps has replaced the IBA with the Modular Tactical Vest (MTV) and Scalable Plate Carrier (SPC), although the IBA is still used by the U. S. Navy for sailors aboard its warships as of 2017."

And now that I’m in the position of purchasing ammo, I’m finding things to be rather confusing when sorting out all there is to be had. I think I’ve kind of figured out what I want to buy for my Springfield XD 9mm, but choosing ammo for my AR-15 is proving to be more daunting. How ’bout an article for us newbie-types explaining the differences between, say, “full metal jacket” versus “total metal jacket” versus “jacketed hollow point” versus “jacketed hollow point subsonic” versus “frangible” versus “full metal jacket boat tail” versus “soft point” versus “boat tail hollow point” versus “lead round nose” versus “safety slug” versus…you get my drift. That’s a pretty wide-ranging question, so I’ll answer it in three parts. This first part is all about the different types of projectiles, and there are quite a few. But first, in order to explain the different designations, a little about how bullets are made . . . A few weeks back, I took a trip to the Hornady manufacturing plant in Grand Island, Nebraska. It’s a good read and I recommend you take a look, but this picture is the one we really want to focus on. The vast majority of bullets are constructed of a solid lead core and a copper covering (called a “jacket”) that contains the lead. Lead is used because it’s an extremely dense yet cheap metal, making it perfect for giving projectiles their weight while keeping the overall size small."

While history does not give concrete scientific evidence to prove who were the fastest draws of the Old West, one can conclude that the fastest quick draw shooters were the ones that survived the most gun battles. Here is a list of five men known to be some of the fastest quick draw gunslingers in the Old West. Wild Bill Hickock Wild Bill Hickock was a lawman gunfighter who earned his reputation for fast gunslinging through law enforcement Old West style. Throughout his life, he held the positions of constable and sheriff. He was killed by a bullet to the back of the head while playing poker.

D., Online Health Coach @ ELITE Personalized Health Updated Apr 25, 2015 · Author has 590 answers and 1.6m answer views IT ALL DEPENDS EXACTLY WHERE HE IS SHOT AND THE TYPE OF PROJECTILE USED. The outcome will range from a \"\"miracle\"\" save to instant death and everything in between. For example: If a stray .22 round accidentally grazes you on the chest at an oblique angle onto the edge of a rib then there is a good possibility that it could skip right off, causing only a superficial laceration. If, on the other hand, you are assaulted by a maniac with .45 calibre hand gun directly in front of you and you get struck point blank on the center of the chest then the gun powder ejected would burn your shirt and skin as the bullet would shatter your breastbone into countless pieces of sharp shrapnel, all being propelled, in s fanning-out pattern, towards your heart, lungs and the great vessels. As the round traverses your chest from the front to the back it would generate an extremely destructive cavitation shockwave that would obliterate all tissue within a radius of several inches from the trajectory. Since the heart would certainly be within this radius it would rupture, even if the bullet hadn't directly penetrated it. The bullet would then probably strike the spinal column at an angle, making an instant exit at a sharper angle after ricocheting. Upon exiting from say, the left back, it would leave an exit wound many times larger than its original (bullet-sized) entry point. This exit wound would probably take part of the left shoulder blade and associated muscles with it, leaving a large, gaping wound with vast tissue loss. Upon rupture, the heart would continue to pump frantically - at a rate greater than 150 beats a minute - as a result of the massive surge of adrenaline previously released into the blood stream during the first sighting of the gun and prior to it being fired."

"text": "A burst fracture is a spinal injury where the vertebra breaks due to immediate and severe compression. Immediate trauma such as a car accident or a severe fall are the leading causes for burst fractures with pieces of the vertebra shattering into surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal. This is different from a compression fracture in that the vertebra breaks in multiple directions. A patient with a burst fracture requires immediate hospitalization and treatment to prevent or minimize spinal cord injury. Immediate hospitalization is required, as such injuries may result in varying degrees of spinal cord injury with possible paralysis. Braces, a body cast, or surgery are the most common methods of treatment. Patients with burst fractures can feel the effects long after their treatment. Kyphosis is often an outcome of a burst fracture injury. Related Definitions Compression Fracture Comminuted Fracture"

Share Email Feedback Sections Background Nerve Root or Brachial Plexus Injuries Acute Cervical Sprains or Strains Intervertebral Disk Injuries Cervical Fractures and Dislocations Cervical Spinal Stenosis Return To Play Show All Media Gallery References Background The incidence of catastrophic cervical injuries in sports has significantly decreased over the last 30 years. This decrease is the result of monumental rule changes, such as the ban on spearing in American football, better coaching on contact and tackling techniques, the presence and instruction of athletic trainers at all levels of play, and the improvement in protective gear including helmets and shoulder pads. Unfortunately, when catastrophic neurologic injuries do occur, they are permanent and life-changing. Well over half of catastrophic injuries in sports are C-spine injuries. C-spine injuries have been reported in most contact sports, including football, hockey, rugby, and wrestling, as well as in several noncontact sports, such as skiing, track and field, diving, surfing, power lifting, and equestrian events. C-spine injuries are estimated to occur in 10-15% of all football players, most commonly in linemen and defensive players. Serious injuries with neurologic sequelae remain infrequent, and most of these injuries are self-limited. Injuries occur in all levels of play, from the high school to the professional level. [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Of all sports, football and rugby have the highest incidence of C-spine injuries. [ 6, 7, 8] Injury usually is secondary to high-velocity collisions between players, causing acceleration or deceleration of the head on the neck. ["

Print Overview In 1984, vertebroplasty was first successfully performed in France for the treatment of a cervical vertebral hemangioma (see image below). [ 1]In a vertebral hemangioma, the fine trabeculae are replaced by venous channels, which predispose the patient to painful microfractures. View Media Gallery Since then, the application of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty have been expanded to include the treatment of the intense pain caused by vertebral compression fractures (see image below) that is refractory to conventional therapies such as analgesic use, bed rest, and bracing. Vertebroplasty may also be applied prophylactically to an at-risk vertebra between 2 other abnormal vertebra. Anterior wedge compression fracture with intact posterior vertebral cortex. View Media Gallery Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty involve the injection of an acrylic cement under local anesthesia and either fluoroscopic guidance or, less commonly, CT guidance to control the pain of vertebral fractures associated with osteoporosis, tumors, and trauma (see image below). Typically, vertebroplasty is performed in an outpatient setting, while kyphoplasty typically requires hospital admission. Pain reduction or elimination is immediate, and the risk of complications is low. Neither vertebroplasty nor kyphoplasty is intended for the treatment of intervertebral disc disease or arthritis.

"text": "\"Pain You Should Never Ignore While many aches and pain are nothing to worry about, certain types of pain may be a sign of serious trouble By Chris Woolston, M. S. It's wise to pay attention to pain. That throbbing in your knee could be telling you to go easy on the yard work, and that ache in your head might be your body's plea for a nap or a tall glass of water. Some types of pain may even be a sign that you need to get to a hospital immediately. \"\" People have to make a judgment call for themselves, whether they're going to go to an emergency room or make an appointment with their doctor,\"\" says Robert Hockberger, MD, chair of emergency medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Paying close attention to pain can make that call easier to make. It could even save your life. Of course, you shouldn't worry about every ache and twinge. Hockberger offers some general rules of thumb to separate run-of-the-mill pain from the kind that could signal a serious medical problem. \"\" We ask patients to rate their pain from a one to a 10,\"\" he says. \"\" People who feel that their pain is a seven or higher -- anything worse than a bad toothache -- should see a doctor right away. \"\""

Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJPeople with spinal cord injury are often told that they have an injury at a given spinal cord level. They are often told that the injury is “complete” or “incomplete”. They sometimes be told that they have a bony fracture or other involvement of one or more spinal vertebral levels. They may also be told that they are classified according to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Classification, as a ASIA A, B, C, D, or E. What is the meaning of the different spinal cord injury levels, the definition of complete and incomplete injury, and the different classification of spinal cord injury? In the early 1990’s, there was no single definition of level, completeness of injury, or classification. Doctors frequently had different definitions of spinal cord injury levels and complete and incomplete injuries. In this article, I will try to explain the currently accepted definitions of spinal cord injury levels and classification. Figure 1. Spinal cord and vertebral levels."

Watch this video to learn if it's harmful to your health. Robert J. Otto, MD on behalf of Tri Star Centennial Medical Center Orthopedic Surgery A “popping” sound in your joints can be caused by several different things. Most of the time it’s caused by a gas bubble that forms on the surface of the flexible tissue surrounding a joint, called cartilage, when you stretch. When this bubble pops or fills rapidly with the surrounding joint fluid, a crack or pop is heard. A popping sound also could be the result of a tendon stretching and snapping over a bony bump around a joint. Or, it could be due to severe arthritis in which bone is rubbing on bone, causing a grinding feeling and, sometimes, an audible pop. Anthony L.

If you want to know what an organizational development consultant does, keep reading. Schools offering Nonprofit Management & Leadership degrees can also be found in these popular choices . Duties and Responsibilities An organizational development consultant is a person called in to a company, be it a large corporation or a small business, to evaluate how it operates and make recommendations for improvement. Organizational development consultants are typically hired when a firm is struggling and needs to make changes in order to remain profitable. Such consultants are often highly educated in the field of business, have experience in managerial roles, and depend on an excellent reputation for bringing businesses back to profitability in order to continue being hired by other struggling groups. While each business is different, some of the tools used by such consultants to institute positive business changes include: Important Facts About Organizational Development Consultants Required Education Bachelor's degree Key Skills Clear communication, multitasking, organization, observational, critical and analytical thinking, customer focused, team oriented, computer competency, reading comprehension Work Environment Heavy travel working in the offices of clients Similar Occupations Director of operations, human resources director, information technology director, program project manager, training and development manager Organizational Assessment Through observation, research, and interviews, an organizational development consultant analyzes the corporate culture of a company.

"text": "Contractors The 10 biggest challenges businesses face today (and need consultants for)March 24, 2017If you’re one of the many business owners spinning numerous plates and tackling everything that needs doing single-handed, or indeed if you’re a consultant helping said business owners in areas outside their expertise, how does this top 10 list resonate with you? We live in rapidly changing times, especially for businesses. Consider that, in a single generation, businesses have had to adapt to entirely new marketing channels (web and social), decide how to invest in and utilize new technologies, and compete on a global stage — things that were barely imaginable to our parents’ and grandparents’ generations. One side effect of these rapid changes and growth is that no single CEO — or any employee, for that matter — can be an expert in everything. This was, perhaps, always true, but it has never been more apparent. This is why, in my opinion, some of the biggest challenges businesses face today are best met and addressed with qualified consultants. Bringing on a consultant helps CEOs add the expertise and skills they need to address particular problems at particular times, and can provide the best possible outcomes. Just a few of the challenges I see businesses facing that are best addressed with the help of a consultant include: Uncertainty about the future Being able to predict customer trends, market trends, etc. is vital to a changing economic climate, but not every CEO has Warren Buffett-like predictive powers. Bringing in a consultant trained in reading and predicting those all-important trends could be the difference between a bright future and a murky one."

"text": "Exempting councils from the land tainting tax rules AGENCY DISCLOSURE STATEMENTThis Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by Inland Revenue. It provides an analysis of options to address problems with the “land tainting rules” in the Income Tax Act 2007. The land tainting rules were introduced to combat tax avoidance, but overreach by taxing land that is used in business where there is no tax avoidance concern. As a result, these rules distort decision making – for example, a decision to keep or sell land may be driven by tax, rather than what makes the most economic sense. Further, the rules increase compliance costs as businesses obtain legal advice to mitigate the impact of the rules, and monitor purchase dates and the length of land ownership in order to determine whether a disposal is taxable under the rules. An example, discussed in this RIS, of where this is occurring is in the context of Auckland Council. The preferred option removes the overreach of the rules and the associated economic distortions and compliance costs for council groups by exempting them from the associated persons provisions in the tainting rules. However, this option would not resolve the issue for other taxpayers affected by the rules. A key gap in the analysis is that Inland Revenue does not hold sufficient data to provide an estimate of the fiscal impact of the options. An assumption made was that council groups would restructure if an amendment is not made."

Just as there’s always a dragon to slay before rescuing the princess, there’s always a case interview process to master before landing the dream job. Consulting firms rely heavily on case interviews to find the right candidate and, therefore, you should practice them – practice them well, start practicing them early (2-3 months prior to the interview), and then keep practicing them often. Once you have been requested to come for an interview it won’t be just to discuss your GPA, background, or experience – that ends up being important, but only later. First, you have to show you have the skills to do the job. Case Interviews give the interviewer an in-depth view of how you think/function under pressure, solve problems, and understand both the large picture and the smallest aspects of a problem. In addition, they are excellent test scenarios for communication on your feet. Case interviews go beyond just spouting business knowledge – you are tested on how you build and communicate a clear framework, break down problems into small pieces, develop real-world options, and recommend actionable solutions despite the presence of conflicting information. The 2 case interview styles are Interviewer-led and Interviewee-led cases. In our Consulting Interview Bible, we go into the differences in great detail – but that’s not the point of this article."

"text": "\"Management Consulting Like Tweet Share Email Print This is the full report on which our Management Consulting career profile is based. What is this career path? Management consultants provide advice to organisations to help improve performance. Consultants divide into two broad types: strategy and operations. Strategy consultants advise management teams on top-level decisions like prioritizing new markets to enter, developing price strategy, mergers and acquisitions, how much to invest in research and development, how to structure the organisation and how to deal with competitive threats. Operations consulting is more about how to implement strategy, for instance; how to improve the efficiency of the recruitment process, or implement a new sales strategy. Consultants may also specialise in highly technical areas. The industry is divided into the ‘Big 3’ strategy consulting firms (Mc Kinsey, Bain, BCG), the ‘Big 4′ professional services firms (Pw C, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG) who primarily do operations consulting (as well as auditing and accounting), and a large number of small ’boutique’ companies, who often specialise in a particular type of situation or subject matter. The entry level title for undergraduates varies from firm to firm, but “analyst” is a common title. People in these positions often work for 2-3 years 1 and then move on or go get MBAs (sometimes funded by the company they work for).“Associate” is a common title for new MBAs, or others entering with comparable qualifications."

"text": "Business Consultant Job Description And Duties: How They Improve Companies June 4, 2014 by Ryan Whether to hire a business consultant or not is a huge decision almost every business will have to make at one point or another. This decision alone can end up costing a company lots of money. But with the right consultant and execution plan, a business can thrive by improving work productivity or increasing profit, which can outweigh the costs of hiring one in the first place. So what do they do exactly during the “consulting” process of the job? Let’s dig a bit deeper into the business consultant job description, as well as what services he or she can provide for a business. Why Hire Business Consultants? Business consultants are brought in by a company to primarily do these three things:1. To detect problems – Whether there’s a decrease in sales, cash-flow issues, or internal management problems, there are issues within a company that need to be fixed. Sometimes it’s difficult to find these problems and it’s better to hire a professional who can assess everything with a different perspective. A business consultant can come in and detect these problems by conducting tests and doing research.2."

"text": "The 9 Step Project Plan to Becoming an Independent Consultant A Project Management Article by Steve Arhancet Article Summary: Today there is more opportunity than ever for PMPs to leverage their experience and skills to become independent consultants. Flexibility, control and a better work-life balance are all reasons for considering the transition. But is it right for you, and if so, where do you start? This article provides common motivations for starting an independent career and 9 key steps that will start you on your journey from employee to consultant. Does it make sense for a project management professional to consider independent consulting as a career path? The first sign that this may be a key area in which to acquire experience is economic. Today, we are moving towards a project-based economy where work is divided into small pieces, each with a clearly defined scope and concrete deliverables. While many project roles are still traditional “inside” roles, project work is migrating to experienced professionals who can run and manage one or many projects for multiple clients at a time without working full-time for any one of them. It is partly due to trends like this that the independent workforce already more than 16 million strong in the United States is projected to add 4 million or more to its ranks by 2013. For Project Management Professionals already accustomed to working project-by-project, Independent Consulting can be a natural – and financially rewarding - progression in their career."

We in the Human Resources profession often have a bit of an inferiority complex, and Ram Charan’s recent blog in Harvard Business Review “It’s Time to Split HR” really struck a nerve. ( Articles about “getting rid of HR” appear regularly. The most famous was “ Why I Hate HR ” published in 2005 in Fast Company, and recently the Wall Street Journal published a story on the topic. ) In Charan’s article, he states “it’s time for the department to go” and proposes to split the HR function into two parts: the “administration” part (ie. compensation and benefits), which would report to the CFO, and the “leadership and organization” part, which would report to the CEO. His argument is that: Most HR leaders are process-oriented generalists who have expertise in personnel benefits, compensation, and labor relations.

"text": "What does a consultant do? Working as a consultant is renowned for being challenging, diverse and rewarding; this, to a large extent, explains why the field belongs to one of the most popular sectors to work in, both among students and more experience professionals. Yet, before entering the consulting market it is, for aspiring consultants, crucial to understand what the daily life of a consultant looks like. So what does a consultant do? The activities of a consultant typically consist of two main domains: external activities on a project basis and activities that support internal operations. Client related activities Once a consultant is staffed on a project then the project member can (in a simplified view) be part of two different types of engagements – an advisory project (e.g. strategy development, corporate finance, HR strategy) or an implementation project (e.g. strategy execution, roll-out of new business processes, ERP implementation). Advisory projects typically last from a few weeks to a couple of months, while large implementation projects, such as a global roll-out, can easily last up to a few years. An advisory project typically consists of a number of standard phases, irrespective of the functional nature of the issue or the industry it is in. The first phase is the preparation phase, where project members plan the project in terms of client agreements, staffing, budgeting, planning, project structure and governance. This phase is in the most cases managed by senior consultants, such as Managers, Directors or Partners."

"text": "\"A busy signal is a signal that indicates that the telephone number someone is trying to call cannot be reached because the phone is otherwise engaged, or because the circuits are busy, making the call impossible to complete. On many phones, the signal takes the form of a distinctive tone, but it can also be visual, as in the case of a phone designed for deaf or hearing-impaired users. Many people are familiar with the sound, as it differs markedly from the dial tone, the tone that indicates that the phone line is open and ready to be dialed. In most cases, a busy signal simply indicates that the person being called is on the phone, or that the phone is off the hook. In these instances, the signal indicates that there is no technical obstacle to placing the call, but that the call cannot be completed because the phone is in use. In some cases, the caller can ask an operator to break in, if there is an emergency, in which case the operator will interrupt the call and ask if the subject wishes to take the other call. Ad In other cases, a signal means that the circuits are all tied up, so the phone call cannot go through. This sound is usually different from a regular busy signal; it is sometimes called a “fast busy,” because the tones tend to be more rapid, and it is also known as a reorder signal. This is common after a natural disaster, due to combined damage to the phone lines and a high call volume. In both cases, callers must wait and try their call again if they want to get through."

SMS is used to send and receive messages to and from cellular phones. SMS has its limitations since it only allows for up to 160 characters in the messages.

"text": "The Cell Phone Antenna Booster Guide - Everything You Need to Know By Jeff · May 31, 2017Poor cell phone reception and dropped calls are part of our day-to-day lives. While this is tolerable in some situations, if the place that you're not getting good reception is in your home or office, then that becomes a problem that you really need to fix, otherwise you risk missing important calls, dropping a call during a critical conversation or not having reception during an emergency. In this guide, we're going to discuss what causes a weak cell phone signal, poor reception, and dropped calls. Then we discuss what a cell phone antenna booster is and how one can be used to amplify your cell phone signal, improve reception, and eliminate dropped calls. What Causes Poor Reception? There are typically two main causes of poor reception, either you're at the edge of your carrier's coverage area, or the materials used in the construction of the building that you're in are preventing a clear signal from reaching you. There are also situations where these two causes act together to cause reception problems and dead zones too. Edge of a Coverage Area Cellular carriers provide cell coverage by setting up cell towers to broadcast and receive cellular calls from their customers. These cellular towers are strategically placed to provide coverage to the greatest number of potential customers. Unfortunately, the further you are from a tower, the less signal strength you'll receive, which means that there are large areas that get very weak signal which isn't strong enough to make or receive a call."

Random outages that disrupt our Internet connection, interrupt a favorite television show or drop an important phone call. Agonizing calls to customer service representatives, whose promised fixes don’t materialize. A long wait for an Internet connection, erratic phone bills and surprise TV fees. These customer service issues attract enough static from our members that Internet, phone and TV services annually rank among the most complained about categories on Angie’s List. Video: How to Complain About Your Phone or Internet Service Nationally, Internet service ranked as the No. 2 most complained about category on the List in 2011, while phone services ranked No. 8.

"text": "NEXTThe i Phone uses GPS, Wi Fi and cellular towers to pinpoint your location and provide directions. AP Photo /Kin Cheung Imagine driving to a job interview and realizing that you're lost. Your first impulse would probably be to call the business that's interviewing you and ask for directions. But if you're not sure where you are, getting directions can be tricky. But suppose you use your phone for another purpose -- to figure out exactly where you are and to get turn-by-turn directions to where you're going. New phones that include global positioning system (GPS) receivers can do exactly that. With the right software or service package, they can pinpoint your location, give directions to your destination and provide information about nearby businesses. In this article, we'll review the basics of how cell phones and GPS receivers work. Then, we'll explore how phones combine these technologies. Cell Phone Basics A cell phone is basically a sophisticated two-way radio."

"text": "\"Voice over Internet Protocol (also voice over IP, Vo IP or IP telephony) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. The terms Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service specifically refer to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The steps and principles involved in originating Vo IP telephone calls are similar to traditional digital telephony and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signals, and encoding. Instead of being transmitted over a circuit-switched network, the digital information is packetized, and transmission occurs as IP packets over a packet-switched network. They transport media streams using special media delivery protocols that encode audio and video with audio codecs, and video codecs. Various codecs exist that optimize the media stream based on application requirements and network bandwidth; some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while others support high-fidelity stereo codecs. Some popular codecs include μ-law and a-law versions of G.711, G.722, an open source voice codec known as i LBC, a codec that only uses 8 kbit/s each way called G.729, and many others. Early providers of voice-over-IP services offered business models and technical solutions that mirrored the architecture of the legacy telephone network. Second-generation providers, such as Skype, built closed networks for private user bases, offering the benefit of free calls and convenience while potentially charging for access to other communication networks, such as the PSTN. This limited the freedom of users to mix-and-match third-party hardware and software."

No matter how powerful your device is, you’re not going to enjoy it much without a decent Internet connection or a strong network signal to work with. There are Android apps to help you establish better Wi-Fi connection or to strengthen network signals. We’ve put together some of the best apps you can find on the Google Play Store for boosting mobile network and Wi-Fi signals. Open Signal Maps Have you tried walking all around your house just to get a better signal on your phone? I bet you’ve done that at least once; it’s a little hard to guess where you can get the best signal. Some even climb to the roof of their houses just to get a better signal, but you don’t have to do that when you use Open Signal Maps. This app will literally show you where you can get a strong signal for your device. When you use the app, it shows you the direction of the signal through an arrow, a map and even a radar where the location of cellular towers are shown. This way, you don’t have to guess and walk around to find a signal; instead you can follow the locations of the cellular towers where a strong network signal is surely available."

The points most strongly emphasized about Usenet netiquette often include using simple electronic signatures, and avoiding multiposting, cross-posting, off-topic posting, hijacking a discussion thread, and other techniques used to minimize the effort required to read a post or a thread. Similarly, some Usenet guidelines call for use of unabbreviated English [2] [3] while users of instant messaging protocols like SMS occasionally encourage just the opposite, bolstering use of SMS language.

Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be.

But, the scientific evidence is massing up that regular consumption of large quantities of milk can be bad for your health, and campaignersare making noise about the environmental and international costs of large-scale intensive dairy farming. We put together a list of questions that might spring to mind and the answers you are looking for1. What nutrients does milk provide? Milk makes a significant contribution to meeting the body’s needs for calcium, magnesium, selenium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).2. What quantity of milk and dairy is recommended? There are no global recommendations for milk or dairy consumption. Many countries have developed national dietary guidelines that are based on local food availability, cost, nutritional status, consumption patterns and food habits. Most countries recommend at least one serving of milk daily, with some countries recommending up to three servings per day. A daily 200 ml glass of whole cow milk, on average, provides a 5-year-old child with 21 percent of protein requirements, 8 percent of calories and key micro-nutrients.3."

While they aren’t an animal you really want to cuddle with, most of what you know about the camel spider is probably wrong:1. They are a spider and they are so big they can eat camels!Contrary to what its name suggests, it’s not actually a spider, and it doesn’t actually eat camels. The Camel spider is in the Order “Solifugae” which means “those who flea from the sun” in Latin. Camel spiders are arachnids, but are not spiders. All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. While camel spiders appear to have 10 legs, they actually only have 8, which makes them an arachnid. The two extra “legs” are actually sensory organs called pedipalps and helps the camel spider find its prey. ( Another common name for the camel spider is the wind scorpion…..but they aren’t scorpions either!)2."

Camel Dromedary ( Camelus dromedarius)Bactrian camel ( Camelus bactrianus)Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Camelidae Tribe: Camelini Genus: Camelus Linnaeus, 1758Species Camelus bactrianus Camelus dromedarius Camelus ferus † Camelus gigas (fossil) [1] † Camelus moreli (fossil) † Camelus sivalensis (fossil) [2]Synonyms List [show]A camel is an even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus that bears distinctive fatty deposits known as \"\"humps\"\" on its back. There are three surviving species of camel: the one-humped dromedary (which makes up 94% of the world's camel population), and the two-humped Bactrian and wild Bactrian species. Camels have long been domesticated and, as livestock, they provide food ( milk and meat) and textiles (fiber and felt from hair ). As working animals, camels—who are uniquely suited to their desert habitats—are a vital means of transport for passengers and cargo. The word camel is derived via Latin: camelus and Greek: κάμηλος ( kamēlos) from Hebrew or Phoenician: gāmāl. [ 3] [4] Used informally, \"\"camel\"\" (or, more correctly, \"\"camelid\"\") refers to any of the seven members of the family Camelidae: the dromedary, the Bactrian, and the wild Bactrian (the true camels) plus the llama, the alpaca, the guanaco, and the vicuña [5] (the \"\"New World\"\" camelids). The dromedary ( C. dromedarius ), also known as the Arabian camel, inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, while the Bactrian ( C. bactrianus) inhabits Central Asia, including the historical region of Bactria. The critically endangered wild Bactrian ( C. ferus) is found only in remote areas of northwest China and Mongolia. An extinct species of camel [6] in the separate genus Camelops, known as C. hesternus, [7] lived in western North America before humans entered the continent at the end of the Pleistocene."

Deserts have a varied species of animals that have adapted to the harsh climate of the desert. Climate Animals Plants Health Issues CLIMATEThe desert's climate is very hot and dry. Not many plants and animals can survive, but the ones that do are adapted to the torturous climate. As if the heat were not enough, at night it cools down to very cold temperatures. Deserts are usually located in areas near the equator. Most are just barren land with sand that strecthes for miles. The climate controls for this region are latitude because they are positioned near the equator. Another control is land & water because land heats up and cools down much faster than water making the climate more extreme."

The ship of the desert, camel (camelidae) is one of the only few mammals which can go by couple of weeks without eating food. Camels are highly adaptable for living and surviving in extreme climates and their behavior of withstanding long periods of time without any external source of food and water makes them even more pliable animal. Once it was believed that camels store water in their humps but as the research advances, it comes out that humps are actually the reservoirs of fats which the camel utilizes when there is not enough food. Feral camels are known to cover great distances, sometimes as much as 70 kilometers a day. They also occupy variety of semi-arid and arid habitats, depending on the summer shade and food availability. What Do Camels Eat – Camel Diet The Arabian camel is a one-humped camel and is endemic to North Africa. It covers miles of distances in deserts and their long double eyelashes serve as an important function to protect eyes from sand. It mainly eats thorny vegetation, twigs, date stones, desert bushes, dried leaves, seeds, fish meat, wheat, bones, dried grass, even prickly pear cactuses, and also relies on plants that are rich in salt which other animals cannot eat.

Air actuated or pneumatically controlled angle seat globe piston valves are designed to work from a controlled compressed air supply, which is utilised to directly control the opening and or closing function of the angle valve. However just about any clean, inert non corrosive liquid or gas controlling media can be used so long as valve actuator and controlling solenoid valve materials on construction are suited.

Drivers of the 2011 Mustang will notice abundant torque and class-leading fuel economy. An additional benefit of Ti-VCT is a reduction of emissions, especially in situations when the throttle is partially open. Independent adjustment of intake and exhaust valve timing allows maximum fuel economy at part-throttle, while delivering optimized power in full-throttle situations. An added benefit is improved drivability and responsiveness across the torque curve. The flexibility allowed by Ti-VCT means Mustang customers will experience: Better off-the-line launch feel, with plenty of the low-end \"\"grunt\"\" for which Mustang is famous."

It is used to push and pull at a fixed length (stroke) and force. Used in conjuction with rods and cranks, the actuator can be used to move controls through variable geometry such as arcs. The Hydraulic Actuator has a piston internal to the housing. The hydraulic pressure is ported on one end and forces the piston to move to the opposite end, which pushes the rod to extend it. Reversing the hydraulic pressure (or applying it at the other side of the piston) will cause the rod to stroke back to original position. The force that is available is equal to the hydraulic pressure times the area of the piston.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "Understanding Solenoids Solenoid Theory Latching Solenoid Theory Latching Solenoids utilize the electrical current pulse or internal permanent magnet material to maintain a set position without the constant application of an electrical current. While the principal of operation is similar to all linear solenoids, latching solenoids are different in that the electrical polarity is important to obtain proper operation. As the current flows in one direction energizing the coil field in the solenoid, it adds to the pull of the permanent magnet. The armature is attracted to the stationary pole within the solenoid body. Once the armature has moved full travel and is in contact with the pole, it will remain in this position without any further electrical power input. The armature is held in this position by the permanent magnet. To release the solenoid from this hold position, the “holding” magnet’s attraction has to be cancelled by sending a current back through the coil field in the opposite direction. Latching solenoids are most efficient when the pulse time is very short compared to the hold time. While a latching solenoid can be used in both short and long stroke applications, the solenoid stroke should be minimized to improve efficiency. There are two main types of latching solenoids: Permanent Magnet (PM) latching solenoid actuators utilize permanent magnets in conjunction with the solenoid coil to maintain the position of the armature with no current applied."

Khair Abstract: A number of heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturers have developed their own electronic fuel injection systems. Examples include the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector (HEUI) and the Mechanically actuated Electronically Controlled (MEUI) systems by Caterpillar, and a number of systems by Cummins such as the Accumulator Pump System (CAPS), Quantum CELECT, HPI, and XPI injection systems. Introduction Cummins Injection Systems Overview Cummins PT Injection System Bendix/Cummins CELECT Unit Injector System Cummins Accumulator Pump System Cummins HPI Fuel Injection System Cummins/Scania XPI Fuel Injection System Caterpillar Injection Systems Overview Caterpillar HEUI-A Injection System Caterpillar HEUI-B Injection System Navistar/Sturman/Siemens G2Caterpillar MEUI-A Injection System Caterpillar MEUI-B/MEUI-C Injection Systems Introduction With increased demand to lower emissions from diesel engines, the flexibility and improved performance offered by electronic control was an important driver for many engine manufacturers to introduce electronically controlled fuel injection systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s. An important tool for lowering emissions from diesel engines produced during this period was fuel injection timing that could be varied over the speed and load range of the engine. While injection timing could be varied with a purely mechanical approach, electronic control offered a much more flexible and a potentially simpler way to achieve this while also providing the option of introducing a number of other desirable features. Some of the first electronically controlled fuel injection systems in heavy-duty engines appeared in the Detroit Diesel Series 92 in 1985 and the Series 60 in 1987 [2151]. Caterpillar applied it to the 3176 in 1988 [2043]. The unit injectors used in these engines lent themselves well to early adoption of solenoid actuated electronic fuel injectors. Solenoid actuator designs of that period were still relatively large and bulky and a unit injector for a heavy-duty engine provided ample room for it. It took several years for manufacturers to refine the actuator design to make it compact enough to use in common rail systems for light-duty applications [2187] and to produce a heavy-duty unit injector, Delphi’s E1 in 2000, which replaced the bulky side mounted actuator with a more compact design that could be integrated into the injector body. Manufacturer’s quickly learned that electronic control offered not only the ability to control injection timing according to speed and load but also according to the type of driving the vehicle was experiencing."

While similar in application, it is functionally very different and should not be confused with Honda's VTEC system, which was introduced around the same time. VTC Solenoids being installed in a VG30DE's head. Function Variable Timing Control was, at least in the case of the VG30DE, used only on the intake cams. Interestingly, the exhaust side of the head features a cutout that would otherwise appear to accommodate a VTC solenoid. It was a relatively simple (yet mind-bendingly impressive, from an engineering standpoint) solution to a common problem that faces engine designers: timing the cams for good low-end torque or high-end power. Most engines compromise somewhere in the middle, but VTC allowed Nissan to have it's cake and eat it, too. In short, the VTC system allowed the ECU to advance the cam phasing on the intake cams, depending on different engine situations. This allowed the VG30DE to maintain good low-end torque and smoothness, without sacrificing top-end power. ECU Control The ECU controls the VTC mechanisms through the two solenoids, mounted on the back of each head (see \"\"VTC Solenoid\"\" below)."

"text": "Charger Tech Training…the 5.7L HEMI® V-8Written by PFM Staff 0 Comments About 75% of the police Chargers are ordered with the 5.7L HEMI® V-8. Chrysler divides its engines into two major groups: cam in block and cam in head. The police 5.7L V-8 is a cam in block engine, which the rest of the world calls an overhead valve engine. The police 3.5L V-6 is a cam in head engine, which the rest of the world calls an overhead cam engine. The V-6 Charger uses a single overhead cam (SOHC) engine, as does the Ford CVPI. The 5.7L OHV HEMI V-8, however, is a traditional pushrod-hydraulic lifter engine. The heads have splayed (or canted) valves, two per cylinder around a hemispherical (hemi) shaped combustion chamber. Within each engine type, Chrysler divides its technician training service levels into three groups. First, preventative maintenance that any police shop should be able to do. Second, upper engine repairs including the intake and exhaust manifolds; rocker arms, pushrods and valves springs; and the cylinder head and valves."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Solenoid (disambiguation). An illustration of a solenoid Magnetic field created by a seven-loop solenoid (cross-sectional view) described using field lines. A solenoid (/ˈsoʊ.lə.nɔɪd/) [1] (from the French solénoïde, derived in turn from the Greek solen (\"\"pipe, channel\"\") and eidos (\"\"form, shape\"\") [2]) is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The term was invented by French physicist André-Marie Ampère to designate a helical coil. [ 3]In physics, the term refers to a coil whose length is substantially greater than its diameter, often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space (where some experiment might be carried out) when an electric current is passed through it. A solenoid is a type of electromagnet when the purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field. If the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet. Not all electromagnets and inductors are solenoids; for example, the first electromagnet, invented in 1824, had a horseshoe rather than a cylindrical solenoid shape. In engineering, the term may also refer to a variety of transducer devices that convert energy into linear motion. The term is also often used to refer to a solenoid valve, which is an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, which is a specific type of relay that internally uses an electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter solenoid, or a linear solenoid, which is an electromechanical solenoid."

"text": "What Does a Camshaft Do? A camshaft is the element of an internal combustion engine the purpose of which is to open and close the valves. Working in conjunction with the crankshaft, the camshaft rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft in a 4-stroke engine cycle and at the same speed in a 2-stroke engine. 4-Stroke Engine Cycle The four cycles of a 4-stroke engine are intake, compression, power and exhaust. The crankshaft rotates once for each of these steps while the camshaft rotates twice. The smooth working of an engine requires precision parts and timing of the components. There are several cams attached to one or more camshafts–one controlling the intake valve and another controlling the exhaust valve–for each piston. The intake valve is opened by the rotating cam as the crankshaft pulls the piston down. At the compression stage, the intake valve is closed while the piston is pushed back up. The fuel and air mixture ignites as the piston moves downward again."

"text": "\"Home , Auto Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index How to Choose a Performance Camshaft Copyright AA1Car One of the most important components in any engine is the camshaft. Whether the camshaft is in a pushrod engine or an overhead cam engine, it controls the opening and closing of the valves. This, in turn, controls the flow of air and fuel into and out of the engine which determines engine performance, fuel economy and emissions. In pushrod engines, the camshaft is either chain or gear driven off the crankshaft. In OHC engines, the camshaft may be belt or chain driven from the crankshaft or an intermediate shaft. The drive ratio is always 1:2 so the cam turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. This is because the crankshaft in a four stroke engine makes two complete revolutions for every power cycle (intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke). Cam-related problems can occur for a variety of reasons. As an engine accumulates miles, the timing chain stretches. The added slack in the chain has a retarding effect on cam timing, which reduces compression and torque."

The 3-stage VTEC was then designed for an optimum balance of super fuel economy and high power with driveability. For the next 5 years, Honda still used the regular DOHC VTEC system for their top power models, from the B16B right up to the F20C in the S2000. Now Honda have announced the next evolution of their legendary VTEC system, the i-VTEC. The i stands for i ntelligent : i-VTEC is intelligent-VTEC. Honda introduced many new innovations in i-VTEC, but the most significant one is the addition of a variable valve opening overlap mechanism to the VTEC system. Named VTC for Variable Timing Control, the current (initial) implementation is on the intake camshaft and allows the valve opening overlap between the intake and exhaust valves to be continously varied during engine operation. This allows for a further refinement to the power delivery characteristics of VTEC, permitting fine-tuning of the mid-band power delivery of the engine. Variable Timing Control Operating Principle Honda's VTC operating principle is basically that of the generic variable valve timing implementation (this generic implementation is also used by by Toyota in their VVT-i and BMW in their VANOS/double-VANOS system). The generic variable valve timing implementation makes use of a mechanism attached between the cam sprocket and the camshaft."

The camshaft controls the movement of the entire valvetrain. The right cam will produce excellent power right where you want it, maintain good drivability, create decent vacuum for power brakes, and even deliver the loping idle you crave. Like the human brain, the camshaft is a highly complex entity, and we could write entire books dedicated to the theory of camshafts. However, there is some very basic information that anyone should know when choosing a camshaft: Cam Lift vs. Valve Lift Advertised Duration vs. Duration @ .050”Lobe Separation and Centerline We’ve put together this Summit Racing Quick Flicks video to help you launch down the road to finding the right camshaft for your vehicle. Camshaft Specifications | Summit Racing Quick Flicks Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 6:24Hi, I’m Mike, and on this installment of Summit Racing Quick Flicks we are going to discuss the specifications of the camshafts and how to use them to determine what camshaft is right for your application. Before we can get into discussing the numbers, it is important to understand a few things about the camshaft and how it operates. For starters, we have to understand what a cam lobe is, and a cam lobe is a part we know operates a lot of the valve train components, but what it also does is it determines everything about the cam meaning that is going to go ahead and effect the duration and lift and all of those numbers that we see on our cam card, it’s also going to go ahead and control certain other aspects of our engine—mainly the mechanical fuel pump, if we have on, and the distributor that is inside the engine. The first specification we are going to discuss is cam lift."

"text": "\"Understanding Camshaft Fundamentals Camshaft Types There are two major types of camshafts: Flat Tappet and Roller Cams. Flat Tappet (lifters) are in most V8's and literally have what looks like a flat bottom where the cam lobe contacts the tappet (lifter). Lifters are not actually flat on the contact surface. They do have a slight curve, but it's hard to see. Roller Cams use a lifter with a roller on it. The roller cam looks like the flat tappet cam, but the cam lobes are very different. Roller cams have fatter lobes because of the way the cam lobe contacts the lifter. Roller lifters reduce friction, increase RPM potential and allow higher valve spring pressures to be used. Flat tappet camshafts can only withstand so much valve spring pressure pushing the lifter against the cam lobe. As you increase valve spring pressure on a flat tappet cam, you increase wear on the cam lobe and the cam contact face of the lifter."

"text": "The ongoing debate over selecting intake manifolds generally divides enthusiasts into two camps of conventional wisdom: single plane is for racing, and dual plane is for the street. These well-defined lines of thought have become entrenched in performance engine philosophy, but do you know why? What is the technical rationalization behind this logic? How do engine dynamics such as firing order, back pressure, fuel metering, induction pulses and more come into play when designing intake manifolds? And more important, should you consider these dynamics when selecting an intake? Dual-plane manifold with separate plenums that feed four cylinder each. “Each manifold type has a purpose in the performance world,” explains Smitty Smith, technical sales coordinator at Edelbrock Performance. “ It’s not just single-plane manifolds are for racing and dual-planes are for street. We have many customers racing with dual-plane manifolds. In some circle track classes, dual-plane manifolds are the spec manifold."

If you identified the camshaft as the component that doesn’t fit with the rest, give yourself a gold star. If you didn’t figure it out or did but still aren’t sure exactly why the cam is wrong, you need to read the following. A car that idles rough, stalls in gear, is a bear to drive in traffic and gets abysmal gas mileage is still cool if it rocks when you floor the loud pedal. An engine that suffers these driveability headaches and still gets blown away by a Chevette is the worst possible hot rodding experience. Trust us, we’ve been there. The most prevalent reason for engines that don’t run as they should is an improper camshaft for the engine and vehicle combination. And that’s understandable, because choosing a cam is one of the hardest, most confusing parts of building an engine. The counter guy at the local speed shop/quick lube/food mart isn’t the best source of information, so knowing the approximate cam specs for your combination is vital to an enjoyable machine, be it full race or full cruise. The problem is that there are many things to consider when choosing a cam, and it involves much more than just the other engine parts."

Your vehicle’s camshaft position sensor—also known as a cam sensor, cam angle sensor (CAS), and sometimes even CMP sensor—is a key component to your engine's ignition timing system. It is typically used on vehicles equipped with direct ignition (distributorless). The camshaft position sensor is connected to the camshaft. As the camshaft rotates, the magnetic element inside of it rotates and creates a series of electrical pulses. The camshaft sensor detects these and gives a signal to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) or computer to let it know the position of the engine’s camshaft. Most cam sensors are hall effect or optical sensors, though some earlier versions were mechanical, driven by a gear similar to a distributor. The camshaft (or camshafts, depending on your engine’s design) rotates to open and close the intake and exhaust valves in order to bring in the air/fuel mixture to the piston located within each engine cylinder in order for them to fire. Information about which valves are open (i.e. the postion of the camshaft and which piston/cylinder is being used) helps the computer activate the fuel injectors and spark plugs at the right time. This ensures the engine is running in the correct firing order and with good timing."

I recently tried several custom-ground cams, and I want to share the results with you. “Performance”, as used in this article, includes idle quality in the 550 to 700 rpm range, throttle feel, and driving ease, in addition to actual quarter-mile elapsed times and speeds. I’d like to discuss basic camshaft operation, nomenclature, and application information for cams in Pontiac street and street/strip cars as well as the results of the cam changes on the Le Mans wagon. Race-engine cam design and usage is significantly different and will be touched on only briefly. Cams are vitally important to an engine’s performance, and a cam change must be carefully evaluated in order to obtain the expected benefits. Pontiac Engineering developed excellent cams for the various applications they were faced with in the glory days of the first musclecar era. Strong low-end performance will degrade the upper rpm range. Conversely, good top-end power comes at the expense of low end torque."

"text": "NEXTA cutaway dual overhead cam engine See more pictures of car engines. Generally, engines with dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) are higher performance engines, they produce more power, and can run at higher speeds. The camshafts have the job of opening the valves that let air into and exhaust out of the engine. The camshaft uses rotating lobes, called cams, that push against the valves to open them. Springs on the valves return them to their closed position. This is a critical job, and can have a great impact on an engine's performance at different speeds. The main benefit of dual overhead cams is that they allow an engine to have four valves per cylinder. Each camshaft operates two of the valves, one camshaft handles the intake valves, and one handles the exhaust valves. Having four valves per cylinder gives an engine several advantages. By having four valves in a cylinder instead of two, a larger portion of the area can be used to let air in and exhaust out."

Aftermarket companies are producing a multitude of parts, various components and even full-on race engines in crate form. If you’re looking to go fast, have a shiny engine for your show car or just a dependable mill for your daily driver, and do it on a ramen budget, a crate engine may be exactly what you are after. Pace Performance is a complete one-stop-shop for everything Chevy. From pink engine dress-up kits to hardcore racing crate engines. Why Buy a Crate Engine? Generally speaking, defining a crate engine is simple and for our purposes, “crate engine” refers to an engine that’s shipped complete, at least up to the cylinder heads. There’s really no drawbacks to a crate engine. Largely they are very affordable, built by engine builders that know what they are doing, have a warranty that backs the quality of the product, and all you have to do is drop the engine in and go.

Vehicle owners will know their camshaft is going bad when they either hear a ticking sound coming from the engine or a grinding noise that doesn’t right. The most common reason a camshaft will go bad will be either due to a lack of lubrication or it’s a faulty part. How much is it?

( And More)Posted by David Fuller on February 7, 2014 at 3:56 pm Tweet Find the camshafts section in your latest Summit Racing catalog and you’ll quickly notice that all the cams are displayed with duration and lift. That’s because veteran gearheads use these key specs to help identify the right cam grind for their engine and application. But there are other, lesser-known specifications you should be aware of when making a camshaft purchase, too. In this post, we’re going beyond the typical catalog page description to cover things like lobe separation and intake centerline. According to the Summit Racing tech department, these oft-misunderstood specifications create some of the most frequently asked questions about camshafts: What is camshaft lobe separation and how does it affect the engine? Lobe separation, or lobe separation angle, is the distance (in camshaft degrees) that the intake and exhaust lobe centerlines are spread apart. This separation determines where peak torque will occur within the engine’s power range and also has an effect on idle quality and engine vacuum. Tight lobe separations (under 112 degrees) cause the peak torque to build early in the rpm range and foster good acceleration."

This page focuses on which oil you can use in what engine. Diesel engine oil uses different additives and is slightly different than most gas engine oils. All modern diesels are turbocharged and diesel engines naturally have more piston blowby than gas engines. The engine oil must be compression ignition rated (CI) so it can stand up to the heat of the turbo and keep combustion byproducts and diesel fuel suspended in the oil.

The camshaft position sensor monitors the position of the camshaft and reports that data to the car’s onboard computer system. This computer system works with sensors and other devices to keep the engine running. With data from the camshaft position sensor (CPS), the fuel injectors know when to fire. When the sensor malfunctions, the computer does not know when to fire the injectors and may not fire them at all. The faulty readouts may also throw off spark timing, which will affect the car’s fuel economy. This sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to control ignition timing. It is common for heat and oil leaks to cause this sensor to fail, due to where the sensor is located. Keep in mind: Damage to the camshaft position sensor is often caused by oil leaks; if this is the case, you may need another part of your car replaced or repaired.

Early aftermarket systems were complex, slow, and the user had to combine the unique talents of computer software user and accomplished engine tuner. The duo of high price and complexity kept all but the heartiest car crafters away. When the first adaptive systems came on the scene several years ago, many were skeptical, but these systems have now had the benefit of experience to become, for the most part, the simple-to-use-and-install systems they are advertised to be. We decided that what the world needed was an unbiased test of each of the four most popular systems to see just how easy they are to install and whether they can indeed deliver on the promise of better driveability and maybe a mileage improvement, too. The four self-learning EFI systems we chose to evaluate are the MSD Atomic, FAST EZ-EFI 2.0, Edelbrock E-Street, and Holley Terminator EFI. All of these systems use a dedicated, standard 4150 flange throttle body with integrated injectors, making it a simple switch from a carburetor. That part is very easy. However, it is the implementation of a quality fuel-delivery system that is essential to a durable, trouble-free throttle body fuel injection (TBI) system. Our suggestion is to build the fuel-delivery system first and ensure its performance before you tackle the TBI."

It does this by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, interpreting the data using multidimensional performance maps (called lookup tables ), and adjusting the engine actuators accordingly. Before ECUs, air-fuel mixture, ignition timing, and idle speed were mechanically set and dynamically controlled by mechanical and pneumatic means. If the ECU has control over the fuel lines, then it is referred to as an Electronic Engine Management System (EEMS). The fuel injection system has the major role to control the engine's fuel supply. The whole mechanism of the EEMS is controlled by a stack of sensors and actuators.

The ECU determines the amount of fuel to inject based on a number of sensor readings. Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric)."

View repair cost for my car Get a repair estimate for your car Submit What is a crankshaft position sensor? The crankshaft position sensor is located adjacent to the engine crankshaft, and relays information about the crankshaft’s position of rotation at all times. How does the crankshaft position sensor work? As the crankshaft spins, the crankshaft position sensor magnetically reads the crankshaft position from a fixed location beside the shaft. This information is always being sent to the engine computer for comparison with data from the camshaft position sensor. When the two signals reach the computer, they must match for the computer to understand there are no mechanical errors in the engine. If the position of the crankshaft is different than the position of the camshaft, the computer will record that an engine timing problem is occurring, and adjust settings as designed."

Inside the assembly is a rotor with fixed vanes that is attached to the camshaft. Oil pressure that is applied to the fixed vanes will rotate a specific camshaft in relationship to the crankshaft. The movement of the intake camshafts will advance the intake valve timing up to a maximum of 50 crankshaft degrees. The movement of the exhaust camshafts will retard the exhaust valve timing up to a maximum of 50 crankshaft degrees. When oil pressure is applied to the return side of the vanes, the camshafts will return to 0 crankshaft degrees, or Top Dead Center (TDC). The CMP actuator solenoid valve directs the oil flow that controls the camshaft movement. The ECM commands the CMP solenoid to move the solenoid plunger and spool valve until oil flows from the advance passage (11). Oil flowing through the CMP actuator assembly from the CMP solenoid advance passage applies pressure to the advance side of the vanes in the CMP actuator assembly. When the camshaft position is retarded, the CMP actuator solenoid valve directs oil to flow into the CMP actuator assembly from the retard passage (3)."

February 3, 2014Tweet Share Fig. 1: When looking at the data you can see that the yellow trace, which is the crankshaft sensor, failed first. The CKP sensor goes to the ignition module where this signal is converted to a digital signal that is the RPM signal. An engine that stalls can present a real diagnostic challenge since a stalling engine can occur at many different loads such as; idle, light load, moderate load, and heavy load. Each of these load conditions can cause challenges when diagnosing the engine. However, in all of these conditions, if the engine stalls a failure has occurred. The question at hand is what failure caused the engine to stall? The scan tool is the technician’s first tool choice. It gathers data that may help in the diagnosis of the stalling engine, but all too many times the scan tool is just not helpful."

"text": "Side Effects of Carb Blockersby SANDI BUSCH Oct. 03, 2017Carb blockers inhibit digestive enzymes that break carbohydrates down into single units of sugar. The carbs that remain in larger units won't make it into your bloodstream because the small intestine only absorbs single sugars. This helps prevent spikes in blood sugar and may make it easier to lose weight because you won’t absorb all the carb calories consumed. But carb blockers can cause digestive side effects and lead to serious problems if you’re diabetic, so talk to your doctor to be sure supplements are safe for you. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Types of Carb Blockers Some carb blockers are prescribed by doctors to help lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. The prescription meds are produced by fermenting microorganisms. Supplemental carb blockers sold in pharmacies are made from white kidney beans, or cannellini beans, which naturally contain substances that block the enzymes used to digest carbohydrates. White kidney bean extract is marketed as a weight-loss supplement. When a group of overweight men and women took bean extract for 12 weeks, they lost about 7 pounds, according to studies cited in the Nutrition Journal in March 2011. The same review also reported that bean extract lowered blood glucose, but the results depended on the amount consumed."

Heart Disease Patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) are routinely prescribed a low fat, high carbohydrate diet and a cocktail of drugs including ACE inhibitors, beta blockers and diuretics to lower elevated blood pressure. The low fat diet eliminates potentially heart friendly Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats. Pharmaceuticals may act to lower blood pressure but actually increase the risk of death. The result of a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concludes that tight control of blood pressure by drugs is associated with an increase in risk of all-cause mortality. Clearly there must be a better solution to lower blood pressure and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. Nutritional Approach to Controlling Blood Pressure The most potent strategy to reduce elevated blood pressure is through diet. Eating a diet along the lines of our evolutionary ancestors confers extraordinary protection from hypertension. Many people find that when they totally eliminate all the processed junk food and substitute with a diet of natural organic vegetables, nuts, seeds and grass fed meats, raw milk, extra weight drops quickly and blood pressure normalizes with no further intervention. These dietary steps will help you to naturally lower your blood pressure: Eliminate Processed Carbs, Wheat and Cornstarch: Cut all sources of sugar, refined carbs, wheat, breads, pasta and starch in your diet."

Have you ever watched “The Biggest Loser”? The participants take leave from their jobs (and family) for months. They are allowed only small portions of food, and work out as though it were their full-time job – 40 hours a week, sometimes more. This method is clearly unsustainable for the average person in the long run.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are blood pressure medications that inhibit the activity of the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which is important for controlling blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a very potent chemical formed in the blood by ACE from, angiotensin I. When formed, angiotensin II causes the muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thus narrowing the vessels and increasing blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are medications that inhibit the activity of ACE which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, these medications cause the blood vessels to enlarge or dilate, and this reduces blood pressure. This lower blood pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood and can improve the function of a failing heart. In addition, the progression of kidney disease due to high blood pressure or diabetes is slowed."

One of insulin’s jobs is to help move glucose from the blood into the cells for energy. When blood glucose remains elevated despite normal or high levels of insulin, this is called insulin resistance. The cells are resisting insulin’s pleas to take up glucose. But why is this happening? What causes insulin resistance? The current paradigm of understanding insulin resistance is the ‘lock and key’ model. The hormone insulin acts upon a cell surface receptor to do its job.

Complex carbs (especially low glycemic index complex carbs) many of which are starchy carbohydrates, need more time to be digested. The Digestion Process Digestion of Starches The process begins in the mouth when an enzyme in saliva (amylase) begins to break down starchy carbohydrates. After swallowing, the starchy carbs reach the stomach where hydrochloric acid combines with them and acts on the protein in the food. The stomach also acts as a reservoir for food, squirting out small amounts into the intestines at intervals. In the small intestine (where most carb-digestion occurs) the starch is processed by the enzyme amylase and converted into maltose and sucrose.

High blood pressure isn’t necessarily something you can feel, but it increases the risk of serious conditions such as strokes and heart attacks. The good news is that you can improve your blood pressure by way of simple lifestyle changes. The usual treatment for elevated blood pressure today is medication. This is often reasonable. But what if you could achieve perfect blood pressure without pills or side-effects – with improved health and weight as welcome side-bonuses, instead?

"text": "Difficult to detect and treat once the damage is done, carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. This sneaky, toxic gas finds its way into your home through a wide range of seemingly harmless sources. Even in small doses carbon monoxide can be harmful and may even cause permanent damage if not caught quickly, and heavy exposure can be lethal in the worst cases. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the U. S. The Center for Disease Control reports carbon monoxide poisoning sends about 15,000 people to the emergency room and kills 480 people each year. This is a type of gas exposure that should not be taken lightly. What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that is near impossible to identify without a proper detector. It is caused by fuels not burning completely, including wood, gasoline, coal, propane, natural gas, gasoline, and heating oil. This unburned fuel can come from anything from clothes dryers, water heaters, and ovens to ranges, a fire-burning fireplace, or a car left running in a closed garage. When carbon monoxide passes through the lungs, it enters the red blood cells and binds to hemoglobin in the same place as oxygen."

To protect your loved ones, it is imperative that you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. This article tells you how. Steps1 Choose your location. It is recommended by firefighters that you mount smoke detectors high on the wall, or on the ceiling away from windows and exterior doors. ( This is not the case for carbon monoxide alarms, about which, see #2, below.) Smoke fills up a room from the ceiling down, so having the detectors high should alert you early on. It is also recommended that detectors be placed at least 10 centimeter (3.9 in) / 4\"\" from the wall when installed on the ceiling, and 10 centimeter (3.9 in) / 4\"\" from the ceiling for wall installation.2 The diffusion of carbon monoxide in air is relatively even, meaning that a source of carbon monoxide can distribute the gas evenly throughout the room and house. When installing a carbon monoxide alarm, choose a location where the alarm will stay clean, and out of the way of children or pets.3 Place smoke detectors in the best places around the house."

S. Department of Agriculture. If you have questions about carbon monoxide, contact your local gas utility, a qualified heating contractor, or the Extension Services office listed in the white pages of your phone book. What is carbon monoxide and who is at risk? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless deadly gas. Because you can't see, taste, or smell it, carbon monoxide can kill you before you know it's there. Everyone is at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. Experts believe, however, that individuals with greater oxygen requirements such as unborn babies, infants, children, senior citizens, and people with coronary or respiratory problems are at greater risk. Why is carbon monoxide so dangerous? The great danger of carbon monoxide is its attraction to hemoglobin in the bloodstream. When breathed in, carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen which cells need to function."

Carbon Monoxide detector connected to a North American power outlet Carbon monoxide alarm A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. In the late 1990s Underwriters Laboratories changed their definition of a single station CO detector with a sound device in it to a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. This applies to all CO safety alarms that meet UL 2034 standard [1]; however for passive indicators and system devices that meet UL 2075, UL refers to these as carbon monoxide detectors. CO is a colorless, tasteless and odorless compound produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials. It is often referred to as the \"\"silent killer\"\" because it is virtually undetectable by humans without using detection technology and, in a study by Underwriters Laboratories, \"\"Sixty percent of Americans could not identify any potential signs of a CO leak in the home\"\".

What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide or CO is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Due to this fact, it is very hard to detect the presence of CO in your environment. It is, however, imperative that the CO levels in your home are carefully monitored. Even at relatively low levels, CO is poisonous because it rapidly accumulates in the blood thereby depleting its ability to carry oxygen. Extreme cases of CO poisoning result in death. Where does carbon monoxide come from? CO is a common byproduct of the combustion of fossil fuels. When properly installed and maintained, most fuel burning equipment (natural gas, propane or oil) will produce insignificant amounts of CO."

If you are a homeowner, landlord or tenant with questions about carbon monoxide detector requirements in your area, please contact your state or local housing department. Introduction Carbon monoxide poisoning is the second most common cause of non-medicinal poisonings death. According to the CDC, over 10,000 are poisoned by carbon monoxide needing medical treatment each year and more than 438 people in the U. S. die annually from carbon monoxide poisoning. With the number of illnesses and death caused by high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in homes and buildings, state legislatures have begun adopting laws mandating the use of carbon monoxide detectors. The mandate varies from every enclosed room being required to have detectors, to every room that has a smoke alarm to have a detector, with only day-care centers and group homes needing detectors. As of March 2018, a majority of states have enacted statutes regarding carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, and another 11 have promulgated regulations on CO detectors. Alaska requires detectors approved by the state fire marshal be installed in all dwellings. Connecticut requires them in all new construction, as does New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. Florida also requires them in new construction, and in every room with a boiler."

Whenever we burn something, Carbon Monoxide (CO) is released. Many items in a home can produce CO. If you have gas burning appliances such as a range or oven, furnace, water heater or fireplace, you could be exposed to CO if the appliances aren’t properly installed or maintained. Even an attached garage can create a CO hazard because cars continue to emit CO after they are shut off. Many States have enacted laws that require CO detectors in homes. These laws are long over-due. Now that CO detectors are cheap, every home should have one. In our opinion they are as important, if not more, than smoke detectors.

The recent tragedy that took place in an affluent suburb of NY, is one we are all too familiar with. A physician and father came home from a night shift at County Medical Center to find everyone inside dead, his daughter, her babysitter, his parents and their friends --- six unsuspecting victims, of the silent killer, Carbon Monoxide. It was unusual to have five consecutive days in early May with temperatures nearing 90 degrees F. To make everyone comfortable, the father turned on the central air conditioner… without turning off the furnace. In addition, the air conditioner was set to a lower temperature than the furnace. As the air conditioner cooled the house, the furnace heated it simultaneously. Furthermore, the furnace and air conditioner were located in a room no larger than a utility closet, and the fresh air vent to the outside was closed. The combination of the above created a negative pressure condition within the house and caused the deadly carbon monoxide fumes to back-draft into the utility closet. The carbon monoxide detector emitted its warnings. Thr Carbon Monoxide Detector had been deactivated… He thought the CO detector was malfunctioning or too sensitive."

The primary thing you should know about smoke alarms is that there are two basic types: Ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms. Ionization alarms sound more quickly when a flaming, fast moving fire occurs. Think of a candle catching a curtain on fire- it happens quickly. A Photoelectric alarm is quicker at sensing a slower, smoky fire- such as an electrical fire that starts within your walls. A dual sensor smoke alarm combines the two types, photoelectric and ionization. Because there is no way of telling what type of fire may occur in your home, it is strongly recommended by the USFA to have both an ionization smoke alarm and photoelectric alarm- or a dual sensor smoke alarm to detect both types of fires. For those with hearing disabilities, First Alert also has smoke alarms that utilize flashing strobe lights and vibrations to alert them to danger. Where should I place my Smoke Alarms?

When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Improperly ventilated appliances and engines, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate to dangerous levels. If you think you or someone you're with may have carbon monoxide poisoning, get into fresh air and seek emergency medical care. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include: Dull headache Weakness Dizziness Nausea or vomiting Shortness of breath Confusion Blurred vision Loss of consciousness Carbon monoxide poisoning can be especially dangerous for people who are sleeping or intoxicated. People may have irreversible brain damage or even be killed before anyone realizes there's a problem. When to see a doctor The warning signs of carbon monoxide poisoning can be subtle.

This carburetor was intended for serious tuners and performance enthusiasts who want the most out of their engine and know how to work with them. TERMINOLOGY All Weber carburetors carry a model number stamped at the base of the carburetor on its mounting flange or on the top cover. The most well-known is the good-old \"\"48 IDA\"\", a masterpiece of simplicity and a marvel of precision machining that has been around since the early 60's with no major revisions. The number 48 tells you the carburetor's size.

There were also 40 & 46 IDA/3C high performance 3-barrel downdrafts, available in 40 and 46 mm sizes.

MAIN JET CHANGES The main metering jet in your carburetor is the first we will tackle. In most all carburetors this will be a threaded brass plug with a hole drilled through the center of it. This hole is called the main jet orifice! This holes diameter directly affects how rich or lean the air/fuel mixture will be when the engine is running at normal speeds. Smaller the hole less fuel/leaner... bigger hole more fuel/richer. Since alcohol requires a richer air to fuel ratio, it's necessary to bore out the main jet orifice when using ethanol fuel. The increase will be on the order of 20 to 40 percent. To do the conversion you will need a screwdriver, wrenches, vise-grip pliers, a putty knife, a pair of needle-nose pliers, and an electric hand drill with bits obviously."

But today we throw it into the appropriate recycle pile. Growing up in the 60s and 70s sometimes makes it difficult to trash anything; today it makes more fiscal sense to buy another one. If you worked in a GM dealership in that time period, the philosophy was repair unless it had catastrophic damage. Of course back then metal was used for most components; plastics were for the occasional trim piece. One of the many repairs you had to perform at the dealership was rebuilding windshield wiper motors, distributors, alternators, starters and fuel pumps. Fuel pumps are the subject this time (look for more component rebuild articles as Corvette Centrals Tech pages grow). Corvette Central already supplies a factory style instructional page to aid in the rebuild. This article will show more in-depth photos and tips on the process.

"text": "How to Tune a Mikuni CV Carburetorby Kelvin Hayes The Mikuni CV carburetor can be tuned via 3 methods, the main jet that controls fuel flow during full acceleration, the needle clip position that controls fuel flow during cruising and roll on throttle, and the mixture screws that regulate fuel flow during idle conditions. The carburator should be tuned first by testing the motorcycle, and noting the characteristics of the idle, roll on and full acceleration. After testing you should start with the main jet, followed by the needle clip position and mixture screws. Start the bike and note the idle characteristics. Does it idle smooth or rough? If it runs rough, the mixture screws will need to be adjusted. Test the roll on throttle to full acceleration to see if the motorcycle pulls hard at high RPMs. If the bike doesn't pull well under acceleration, this indicates that the main jet is too big and will need to be swapped for a smaller jet. If, during roll on acceleration, the bike pulls equally well whether warm or cold, this indicates the needle clip is set properly. If it pulls well while cold, the needle clip will need to be lowered, while the opposite is true for better warm pulling."

"text": "\"Car Computer Historyby Eli Laurens Computerized automotive systems are an ongoing evolution, continually improved from year to year to provide more efficient and more powerful cars. The basic fundamentals of the internal-combustion engine have not changed much since the beginning of the 20th century, but the need for tighter emissions standards coupled with fresh technology have made the on-board computer indispensable. Computers Come of Age From the automobile's inception to the late 1960s, car engines were manufactured with simple designs and mechanical control parts, such as distributors and ignition timing controls. Emissions were not relevant, as efficiency gave way to horsepower and speed. As the 1970s began, federal mandates regarding a car's emissions were beginning to appear, and the fuel crisis of 1973 to 1974 showed many that larger and more powerful motors were not as important as economy. Most cars of this time period were fueled by carburetors, and very few ran with mechanical fuel injection, so the need for on-board computers evolved slowly. The actual physical requirements for an on-board computer had not been miniaturized to the point where they would fit into automobiles by the mid-1970s; it would take another decade before the microchip would be small enough to become practical. Ignition Control Modules As the gas shortages continued into the late 1970s, car manufacturers began to implement small, solid state circuit boards to control the ignition timing and spark, usually mounted into the engine compartment at the firewall. The hand-sized box would normally burn out within several years, requiring replacement. Several manufacturers experimented with computer-controlled carburetors into the early 1980s, using a crude microchip to meter the rate of fuel mixture and advancement of timing, but these proved unreliable and difficult to repair."

Factory production vehicles haven’t rolled off the Big Three’s assemblyline with new carburetors since the ’80s, but it’s still the mostpopular choice of induction among car crafters. Don’t get us wrong; weunderstand that the latest and greatest computerized fuel-injectionsystems are getting more affordable and enable today’s performancetuners to tame mega-horsepower engines for docile street use, but nomatter how you look at it, carburetors will always be cheap andeffective if you know how to properly tune them. But carb experts–theguys who spend all day on the phones with real-world users–tell us itnever ceases to amaze them how many people are completely lost when itcomes to understanding the nitty-gritty details of how a carb reallyworks and how to tune one for maximum performance. Over the years we’ve shown our readers everything from how to rebuildcarburetors to how to live with one every day. This time we’re going astep further by directly probing minds from Holley Performance, Demon Carburetion, and Edelbrock for answers to 20 of the most commoncarburetion questions from basic to advanced. Even you expert carb gurusout there might learn something new. Q: Does a bigger carb make more power? What’s thelimit? Demon Carbs responds: Larger carburetors can make morepower on a dynamometer, but this can also result in slower accelerationand lower efficiency of fuel atomization."

"text": "\"New Exhaust System = Carb Jetting? When you upgrade your bike with a new exhaust system, air box or hi-flow air filter it may upset the air to fuel ratio creating a mixture that is too rich or too lean. A rich ratio is one where there is too much fuel in relation to the air flow. Signs that your air/fuel mix is too rich are black smoke in the exhaust, blackened and fouled spark plugs and a poor idle. A lean ratio means you are not getting a sufficient amount of fuel in relation to your flow of air. Your mix may be too lean if you are getting excessive backfiring on deceleration, blue-ing of the exhaust pipe or spark plugs that seem not to be functioning, but look very clean. You may also get a hesitation or \"\"dead spot\"\" during acceleration. Blue-ing of exhaust pipes is a telltale sign of a lean fuel mixture. However, some replacement pipes have very thin walls. They are more prone to turn blue because of extreme temperatures passing through a bend."

That's great if we're not talking about your motorcycle, otherwise, it might be time for you to sit down with her and rejet the carburetor. Sound painful? It's not really. Simply put, carburetors use tiny little nozzles called jets that have holes in them in order to pass fuel into the air to make a fine mist. This mist is then sent to the combustion chamber where it is used to create energy that allows the engine to run. The smaller the holes in the jets are, the less fuel is pushed into the air, which makes for a less saturated air/fuel mist that is let into the combustion chamber. Less fuel means less of an explosion and therefore less power to run the engine."

( 1) The so-called square flange has a mounting patter of 3 3/4 x 3 7/8 inches. This was used on four barrel carbs up to 1955 IN MOST CASES. Carburetors using this flange were: (A) Carter WCFB (early) (B) Holley 2140 and 4000 (all) (the 2140 was still being produced as late as 1974 for heavy duty gasoline engines in trucks. ( C) Rochester 4GC (early) (D) Stromberg 4A (all) (2) The so-called Carter flange is rectangular 4 5/16 x 5 5/8 inches. This flange was used on some applications in 1955, and has been used since. Carburetors using this flange: (A) Carter WCFB (late) (B) Carter AFB (most, but some use the Holley flange) (C) Carter AVS (a few, most used the Holley flange) (D) Rochester 4GC (late) (3) The so-called Holley flange is almost square at 5 3/16 x 5 5/8 inches (note the 5 5/8 dimension is the same as the long dimension on the Carter flange).

Or have you ever been confronted with an engine that just doesn't seem to run right no matter what you've done or replaced? You may be dealing with an engine vacuum leak. Sometimes a vacuum leak will whistle or hiss and make itself obvious. But oftentimes, a vacuum leak will disguise itself as an ignition or fuel problem that defies diagnosis. Either way, an engine vacuum leak is bad news because allows \"\"unmetered\"\" air to enter the engine and upset the air/fuel ratio. So how do you know when a vacuum leak is causing a problem? If the engine is experiencing any of the following symptoms, a vacuum leak is probably responsible: Too fast an idle speed. If an engine without computerized idle speed control is idling too fast and refuses to come down to a normal idle speed despite your best efforts to back off the carburetor idle speed screw or air bypass adjustment screw (fuel injection), air is getting past the throttle somewhere. Common leak paths include the carburetor and throttle body gaskets, carburetor insulator spacers, intake manifold gaskets, and of course, any of the engine's vacuum fittings, hoses and accessories."

From hoses and connections to proper filtration and even fuel additives, time spent maintaining your fuel system helps keep you safe and your boat ready for action. What is ethanol and why is it so bad for marine engines? Ethanol has been added to the majority of today’s fuel supply as an oxygenate to help reduce emissions. It’s also used to extend domestic fuel supplies. Ethanol is alcohol, and alcohol is “hygroscopic,” which means it attracts water molecules. Since nearly all boat fuel tanks are vented to the atmosphere, water can (and will) collect in your fuel. When the concentration of water molecules in your fuel tank reaches just 1⁄2 of 1%, the water molecules will bond with the alcohol and sink to the bottom, where your fuel pick up is. Depending on the amount of water ingested into your outboard, this can result in everything from running problems to catastrophic damage."

"text": "Carburetor Spacer Buyer's Guide - Breathing Room The Carburetor Spacer Buyer's Guide Sean Haggai Jun 1, 2009 Share2/14If you haven't considered a carburetor spacer, here's something to keep in mind. They don't require much effort to install, generally have the potential to free up extra power, don't require any maintenance, and are pretty affordable. If you considered all the other aftermarket products on the market that offer the same power benefits, you wouldn't even be able to come close to the bang-for-the-buck that these spacers offer. So what does a carburetor spacer do? In a nutshell, adding a carburetor spacer increases the intake plenum volume by creating a taller neck on the manifold. With the extra volume, the distance between the floor (bottom of the intake manifold) and the bottom of the carburetor is also increased. The extra distance allows for the intake mixture to straighten out. Along with the extra plenum volume, the intake runner volume is also increased, potentially allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently and ultimately make more power. Considering the engine combination you've got is tuned correctly, it's safe to say that you're going to produce more top-end power while only taking away a little bottom-end grunt (think of a tunnel-ram manifold). Still, in high-revving engine combos that isn't necessarily a bad thing."

In fact, I worked with open heart surgery patients in a cardiac unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for several years after having my first child. Working the 3-11 shift meant that we had many new admissions, post surgery ICU transfers and pre-surgery patients. They all had to have cardiac monitoring/telemetry along with diagnostic tests like cardiac catheterizations in which the blood supply to the heart is checked. They also had to undergo various treatments such as angioplasty, the balloon procedure that opens blocked arteries."

Manifestations of systolic dysfunction may include symptoms of inadequate tissue perfusion or pulmonary and systemic congestion. Systolic heart failure is often called \"\"forward failure\"\" because cardiac output is decreased and fluid backs up into the pulmonary system. Because these patients are at high risk for sudden cardiac death, patients with an ejection fraction of less than 30% are considered candidates for an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD; also known as an internal cardioverter/defibrillator)diastolic heart failure Heart failure that occurs when the left ventricle is unable to relax adequately during diastole, which prevents the ventricle from filling with sufficient blood to ensure adequate cardiac output."

"text": "Telemetry monitoring involves watching and analyzing data received at a distance from its source. It usually refers to a certain way of monitoring a hospital patient's heart activity, but it is also the way in which information is received from spaceships and orbiting satellites, among other things. In the context of cardiac monitoring, it serves the same purpose as an ordinary heart monitor, with the difference being that the patient is fitted with a transmitter that sends the data to the area of the hospital where the monitoring occurs. One of the main advantages of monitoring a patient in this way is that it allows the person to get up and move around, at least within the device's transmitting range. In many cases, this is highly preferable to having a patient confined to a bed so that his heart's activity can be observed. Telemetry monitoring has been the subject of a small amount of controversy within the medical community, however. Some medical professionals feel that it is overused and have even suggested discontinuing the practice. Most medical experts agree, however, that the practice can be highly valuable for some patients, particularly those going through a physical rehabilitation process. It allows a patient whose recovery depends on movement to pursue that recovery effectively, without his healthcare team having to give up the ability to monitor his heart. This extra security measure is a great advantage for many patients."

It is one of the most popular birds and easily identified by birdwatchers and non-bird-watchers alike. Like the robin, whose plumage also features a distinctive red patch, the cardinal is often associated with Christmas and the winter season. The color is bright and cheering. The cardinal’s presence year round and its appearance at backyard bird feeders may also contribute to this association. The cardinal’s name is derived from the high-ranking clerics of the Catholic Church who wear rich red robes. The term cardinal is used to denote something with primary or essential qualities, such as a cardinal direction. The word comes from the Latin cardo, meaning hinge."

Who will be the next pope? Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi confirmed that the College of Cardinals will meet to elect the next pope some time in March, according to CNN. A new pope is expected to be in position by Easter on March 31. There are 118 electors eligible to vote for Benedict’s successor as of January 2013, according to USA Today. Italy has the most cardinal-electors at 28, and the United States follows with 11. Some are already offering their guesses on who will be the next pope. Three Vatican experts told USA Today that the top five cardinal contenders include: Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, Archbishop of Genoa; Cardinal Marc Ouellet, former Archbishop of Quebec; Cardinal Angelo Scola, Archbishop of Milan; Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture; and Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, head of the Vatican’s office for Eastern Churches.

He initially appeared as a shrewd up-and-coming lawyer of humble origins, and is presented as the protege of Cardinal Wolsey in episode 1.04; he is a recurring character in Season 1 and a major character in Seasons 2 and 3, portrayed by English actor James Frain . Unlike the Catholic Wolsey, Cromwell was shown to secretly support the Lutheran cause and the Reformation (or in his words, the destruction) of the Catholic Church, which he appears to despise above all else for its' corrupt elements. Cromwell, like the King's friend Charles Brandon, played a key role in the downfall of many powerful figures of Henry's court, although he eventually met a similar fate himself. Despite his excellent work in securing both his own power and the King's following the successful break with Rome, Cromwell's efforts towards further Reformation eventually falter due to his harsh methods of enforcement being unpopular and Henry's unwillingness to abandon Catholic doctrine. When he later tries to re-establish Protestant links to England by arranging the King's fourth marriage to Anne of Cleves, he angers Henry again and his many enemies sieze the opportunity to accuse him of treason and sentence him to death. However, the Protestant Reformation- which Cromwell had fought for his entire career- survived and prospered in England under subsequent members of House Tudor, ensuring that part of Cromwell's legacy survived.

Ltd/Creative RF/Getty Imagesby Austin Cline Updated March 16, 2017Technically, any Catholic male who has reached the age of reason, is not a heretic, is not in schism, and is not “notorious” for simony can be elected pope — there is no other requirement for election (although there are several requirements before a person can actually assume the papacy once elected). It might even be technically possible for them to elect a non-Catholic male if they had reason to believe that he would immediately convert to Catholicism. Formal Requirements The lack of a long list of formal requirements is probably because, in times past, it was possible for the elector cardinals to elect a new pope not through formal ballots but rather through sudden acclamation after being inspired. A list of formal rules would make such acclamation much more difficult, even though the rules have now eliminated acclamation (as well as the use of committees) to elect new popes. In practice, of course, Catholic laity and even common clergy have no real chance to be elected pope, and the papacy is restricted to cardinals or perhaps a few bishops. The last non-cardinal elected pope was Urban VI in 1379. Certain Cardinals may be more likely to be elected than others (because of age, for example), but within that group, there is no way to say who is the favorite."

Longer term, it is unlikely that you will be compatible unless you can find some shared project or interest outside the relationship. At this level it is related to separating from the parental home and making a home of your own. We have to note that both Signs are Cardinal Signs - that is, they are Initiators of activity. Planets in these Signs are in Square aspect to one another which is more or less stressful depending on how close the aspect is to 90 degrees. Aries is a Fire Sign, and Capricorn an Earth Sign, so we can see where the main motivation will come from. Aries likes \"\"quick wins\"\" in the present time whereas Capricorn is looking forward to achieving some long term goal, or Career, and will not appreciate being rushed. So there will be a continual block on Aries' enthusiasm."

"text": "\"As both its critics and its champions would probably agree, Roman Catholicism has been the decisive spiritual force in the history of Western civilization. There are more Roman Catholics in the world than there are believers of any other religious tradition--not merely more Roman Catholics than all other Christians combined, but more Roman Catholics than all Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus. The papacy is the oldest continuing absolute monarchy in the world. To millions the pope is the infallible interpreter of divine revelation and the Vicar of Christ; to others he is the fulfillment of the biblical prophecies about the coming of the Antichrist. These incontestable statistical and historical facts suggest that some understanding of Roman Catholicism--its history, its institutional structures, its beliefs and practices, and its place in the world--is an indispensable component of cultural literacy, regardless of how one may individually answer the ultimate questions of life and death and faith. Without a grasp of what Roman Catholicism stands for, it is difficult to make political sense of the settlement of the Germanic tribes in Europe at the end of the Roman Empire, or intellectual sense of Thomas Aquinas, or literary sense of The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, or artistic sense of the Gothic cathedrals, or musical sense of many of the compositions of Haydn or Mozart. At one level, of course, the interpretation of Roman Catholicism is closely related to the interpretation of Christianity as such. For by its own reading of history, Roman Catholicism began with the very beginnings of the Christian movement. An essential component of the definition of any one of the other branches of Christendom, moreover, is the examination of its relation to Roman Catholicism: How did Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism come into schism? Was the break between the Church of England and Rome inevitable?"

The Cross, in all its forms, presents the most ancient symbol, and a series of meanings stands behind each of them (See Supplement 1 ). Some of these meanings are not widely known until our days; some other ones are still veiling the ancient esoteric concepts. The meaning of the majority of these corresponds to astronomical facts and evolution of the Earth and mankind that was kept secret for millennia. But from the 19th century a significant part of these symbols was explained – partly due to the disclosing of the Ancient Knowledge in works of Helen Blavatsky, – partly due to the progress of the sciences. For this reason we may suggest that this disclosure, by itself, presents great importance defining the last two centuries as the age of great revelations; if so, we may expect that they are given purposefully, in order to prepare us for something important. And we actually see this from a series of independent studies that the current decades can be characterised as the outstanding ones over the millennia; a series of seldom Space phenomena and the End of the Mayan calendar are evidently between them. In 1996, the concept of the Solar System Zodiac (SZ) was developed as a natural affiliate to the Tropical Zodiac (TZ).

Ladybugs are Good Luck for Farmers The meaning of ladybug spirit animal is closely associated first and foremost with good luck, but where does this idea come from? Ladybugs are well known amongst farmers and gardeners for their preference for dining on aphid and scale crop pests. Legends of ladybirds saving an entire crop from pest decimation abound. These stories were passed down through the centuries, resulting in a general association with good luck. Now simply seeing a ladybug is considered good luck for anyone, and the ritual of sending wishes off on a ladybug’s wings is commonplace.

June 25, 1997: The publication of the Nostra Aetate document marked a special moment in the history of the Church and its relation to other religions, especially to Judaism. Nostra Aetate repudiated the centuries-old Christian teaching of contempt for Judaism and the Jewish people. The foundations for the document were laid at the Second Vatican Council, a meeting of the world's Catholic bishops convened by Pope John XX III in October 1962, and continued by Pope Paul VI in three periods, each of about three months duration, during the fall months of 1963, 1964, and 1965. Cardinal Augustin Bea, the German scripture scholar who had been a close advisor of Pope Pius XII and became the key figure in developing the Council's program for Catholic outreach to other religions, oversaw the drafting of a statement on Catholic-Jewish relations. After the death of Pope John XXIII (June 3, 1963), Cardinal Bea made a presentation to the Council on November 19, 1963, insisting on the importance of Catholic outreach to other religions, especially Jews and Muslims. This presentation was received not without resistance by some of the bishops. Nonetheless, the Cardinal cited the Holocaust and how Nazi propaganda used arguments \"\"drawn from the New Testament and from the history of the Church.\"\" ( 1) He believed that it was a question of \"\"rooting out from the minds of Catholics any ideas which perhaps remain fixed there through the influence of that propaganda.\"\""

PET scans can show healthy and damaged heart muscle. Doctors also use PET scans to help find out if you will benefit from a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as angioplasty and stenting, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or another procedure. Quick facts PET scans use radioactive material called tracers. Tracers mix with your blood and are taken up by your heart muscle.

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Myocardial ischemia is a disorder that usually is caused by a critical coronary artery obstruction, which is also known as atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the second most common cause of emergency department visits in the United States. More than $140 billion are spent each year for the diagnosis and management of CAD. Diagnosing myocardial ischemia prior to a heart attack is important because ischemic heart disease is responsible for approximately 14% of all deaths worldwide. Approximately 1.5 million Americans will have a heart attack this year as a result of myocardial ischemia; about 500,000 of those will be fatal. For approximately one third of patients, CAD is not diagnosed until after a heart attack occurs. Fortunately, treating known CAD has tremendous benefits. Both coronary artery revascularization and medical therapies significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rates of CAD. Since CAD is common and deadly, but treatable if detected early, early diagnosis of the condition is critical. The diagnosis of CAD can be difficult to make."

"text": "PET Scan Health professional information Authors: Dr Michael Hofman*Dr Dee Nandurkar *What is a PET scan? PET stands for “positron emission tomography”. It is a nuclear medicine imaging test in which a small amount of liquid radioactive material is injected into the body and is used to diagnose a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, and brain and heart disease. The radioactive substance most commonly used in PET scanning is a simple sugar (like glucose) called FDG, which stands for “fluorodeoxyglucose”. It is injected into the bloodstream and accumulates in the body where it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays. These are detected by the PET scanner and a computer converts the signals into detailed pictures or images showing how tissue and organs are working. If you are having an FDG-PET, your sugar metabolism (how sugar is used by your body) is imaged. This is commonly used for cancer imaging, as the cancer cells need sugar to grow. FDG is also useful for imaging inflammatory or infective processes, and for imaging brain metabolism. PET scanners are combined with computed tomography (CT) scanners, called PET-CT scanners."

LWA/Photographer's Choice/Getty Lung cancer often spreads to the lymph nodes before spreading to other regions of the body. What lymph nodes does lung cancer spread to, how does your doctor know if your lung cancer has spread to your lymph nodes, and what does that mean as far as your treatment and prognosis? Overview Lung cancer can spread ( metastasize) in three primary ways. It may spread through:the lymphatic systemthe bloodstreamlocally near the tumor (It's also now thought that lung cancer, unlike some other cancers, may spread through the airways as well). When lung cancer cells travel through the lymphatic system they are carried to lymph nodes where they can lodge and grow. Lung cancer often spreads first to lymph nodes near the tumor, known as regional lymph nodes, but may also spread to lymph nodes in distant regions. Some terms you may hear that describe lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the tumor include “regional disease,” “local spread,” or “locally advanced disease. ”Which Lymph Nodes May Be Impacted The lymph nodes that lung cancer spreads to first often depends upon the location of the tumor. If you read through any of your radiology reports, words describing lymph node involvement can be very confusing."

The multiple and numerous potentialities of this field are applicable to the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, and neurological and cardiovascular diseases. This technique also contributes to improving the treatment of these disorders by optimizing the pre-clinical and clinical tests of new medication. They are also expected to have a major economic impact due to earlier and more precise diagnosis. Molecular and Functional Imaging has taken on a new direction since the description of the human genome. New paths in fundamental research, as well as in applied and industrial research, render the task of scientists more complex and increase the demands on them. Therefore, a tailor-made teaching program is in order. Molecular imaging differs from traditional imaging in that probes known as biomarkers are used to help image particular targets or pathways."

"text": "\"PET (positron emission tomography) scan Overview A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a type of nuclear imaging test that shows the metabolic activities (energy usage) of your brain. While X-ray, CT, and MRI scans look at the anatomy of your brain, a PET scan can give your doctor information about how your brain is working. How does a PET scan work? A PET scan integrates two technologies to view your body: computed tomography (CT) and a radioactive material called a tracer. The tracer is what allows doctors to see how your body tissues absorb and use different chemicals in real time. Before the PET scan, a tracer is injected into your bloodstream (similar to a contrast agent in CT or MRI scans). Once the tracer is absorbed in your body, a ring-shaped scanner is positioned over the body area. The tracer is radiolabeled, meaning it emits gamma rays that can be detected by the PET scanner. The computer collects the information emitted by the tracer and translates it into two-dimensional cross-sections. The radioisotopes used in PET to label tracers are 11C, 13N, 150, and 18F (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and 18F used as a substitute for hydrogen)."

"text": "Tests for Stomach Cancer Stomach cancers are usually found when a person goes to the doctor because of signs or symptoms they are having. The doctor will take a medical history and examine the patient. If stomach cancer is suspected, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Medical history and physical exam When taking your medical history, the doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms (eating problems, pain, bloating, etc.) and possible risk factors to see if they might suggest stomach cancer or another cause. The physical exam gives your doctor information about your general health, possible signs of stomach cancer, and other health problems. In particular, the doctor will feel your abdomen for any abnormal changes. If your doctor thinks you might have stomach cancer or another type of stomach problem, he or she will refer you to a gastroenterologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the digestive tract, who will examine you and do further testing. Upper endoscopy Upper endoscopy (also called esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD) is the main test used to find stomach cancer. It may be used when someone has certain risk factors or when signs and symptoms suggest this disease may be present."

"text": "\"Lung cancer staging From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Lung cancer staging with EUS)navigation search In medicine, lung cancer staging is the assessment of the extent to which a lung cancer has spread from its original source. As with most cancers, staging is an important determinant of treatment and prognosis. In general, more advanced stages of cancer are less amenable to treatment and have a worse prognosis. The initial evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer staging uses the TNM classification. This is based on the size of the primary t umor, lymph n ode involvement, and distant m etastasis. After this, using the TNM descriptors, a group is assigned, ranging from occult cancer, through stage 0, IA (one-A), IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB to IV (four). This stage group assists with the choice of treatment and estimate of prognosis. There are several methods by which this assessment is made. They are broadly classified into non-invasive techniques, which generally involve medical imaging of the lungs such as computer tomography (CT) scans and PET scans, and invasive techniques such as biopsy and surgery. Invasive techniques provide additional information because tissue samples can be seen microscopically to confirm presence of cancer cells (as opposed to enlargement of tissues due to other causes such as infection) and to determine the type of lung cancer and its grade."

"text": "On This Page: Cost to Build a Shed Hiring a Pro DIY Sheds Cost to Build a Barn Hiring a Pro Building a Pole Barn Building a Playhouse - Costs & Considerations What to Consider Additional Considerations Three different buildings, three different purposes. While sheds and barns add valuable storage space to your property, playhouses are pure fun. Whether you have an overfilled garage or no garage, and you need a spot to store your gardening or hobby equipment, a small or mid-sized shed might be all you need. If you need extra work space and an area to house animals, adding a barn is a great option. In theory, all of these structures can be built as a DIY project, but only if you’re very handy and experienced in carpentry. Hiring a professional to do the job saves valuable time. A large barn could take a four- or five-person crew up to five or six weeks to complete, but approaching the same barn as a DIY could easily take two to three times as long. It can also save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in costly mistakes while maximizing the return on your investment, which averages 77% for a well-built barn. Cost to Build a Shed The average cost to build a shed is between $800 and $4,000, depending on the materials you choose (anywhere from $300 to $5,000) and whether you choose to DIY or hire a pro. Some other price factors to consider when building a shed include whether you add electricity to the shed ( $50 - $100) and labor fees for a contractor or handyman ( about $200 )."

My first construction job was as a trim carpenter’s helper during school summer vacation. My boss had always worked solo, but as he got on in years (I’m older now than he was then), he wanted help moving his tools and materials. All I did that first summer was fetch and carry; I wasn’t allowed to measure, cut or nail. I was told to observe. In doing so, I learned that finish carpentry is essentially a visual exercise. Finish carpentry makes the eye work hard and skip over imperfections. At this point, the framing carpenter has made the house plumb, level and square. Or not. A good framer can ease the finish carpenter’s job by providing plumb walls and plenty of blocking for nailers for attaching trim."

From basic math to calculate floor space and wall heights, to more complex trigonometric formulas to make right angle cuts, carpenters throughout the country counter the stereotype that they're more brawn than brain. They use more than muscle and endurance to complete their jobs well. Joe Weisling, a carpenter for nearly 40 years and training director for the Southeast Wisconsin Carpentry Training Center, challenges misconceptions about his profession. \"\" There are those that feel that the construction industry has no future. There are those that believe that you have to have a size 19 neck and a size 4 hat. In other words, you've got to be all brawn and no brain. There are those that seem to think that it's only a man's world,\"\" he says. Many carpenters work in the residential and nonresidential building construction industries."

By renovation, do you mean building an addition of a certain amount of square footage to an existing home? Perhaps someone can answer that revised question. I agree, altough there is an average, every project is different; however, here is something that might help you out:figure out what you want to do (replace kitchen cabinetry, resurface floors, etc)get quotes (free, no obligation quotes)for the work to be done. No lump-sum, individual prices for each \"\"section\"\" if you have more than one area in your house that needs attention.then devide the amount you get by the number of sq_footage where the work will get done, that'll give you your average $/sq.ft.allow for the \"\"oops\"\" factor about 10% of your total budget, ie- $10,000 minus 10% = $9,000 for work to be done with $1,000 \"\"just-in-case\"\", but don't tell this to whomever is doing the work or they'll find where to spend that extra thousand bucks!Anyhow, this might also help: repair/spruce up $15 - $40 repair/remodel $20 - $40 substantial remodel $50 - $200 rehabilitation $60 - $250 new addition no plumbing $100 - $150 w/bath $125 - $200 w/kitchen $250 - $300 w/both $250 - $350 new deck w/steps&rails $20 - $30 Well I hope this is of some help.14 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

They provided the trim, I installed and caulked , spackled and sanded it all. Paint ready. Floors were a mess (old exposed slab, very uneven on half the job) so many cuts had to be ripped on the bottoms in spots. Half the doors they ordered also needed filler strips between the jam and the casings because they were steel stud. And some fillers also for the old walls that weren't plumb. It was such a massive job that I am charging hourly but I want to see if that falls in line with cost per foot. I'm thinking $2.00 per foot is an average out there?"

"text": "\"How much does it cost to build a loft? Lofts are simply economy versions of apartments or condos. They can have only a single room with a miniscule kitchen and bath attached. Alternately, they can be found as massive spaces that are more of a duplex or apartment than anything else. For the purpose of this discussion we will look at the costs of developing a standard/economy loft dwelling. The U. S. Energy Information Administration states that the average apartment is 861 square feet, the average loft, however is around 600 to 900 square feet. Few have many interior walls, and many have higher ceilings, this is the reason that a loft tends to have less living space than an apartment. The creation of any loft would never be a \"\"DIY\"\" project and would require an architect, a contractor, a few subcontractors, and a cooperative developer/owner to get the job done. According to Hawkins Research, Inc., the typical costs for the development of a single loft in a pre-existing or new construction would include: With mid-range materials, efficient doors and windows, all appliances, and \"\"turnkey\"\" finishing would run at an average of $117,100 per unit to complete. This does not include demolition or acquisition of the primary building or land."

Answer by Chudimac Confidence votes 87Depending on the type,style, single garage door or double and getting what you want are many of the variables involved. The area you live in also affects sq. ft. cost. As a contractor in North Florida I can say you should expect to pay a min. of $40 per sq.ft. using a contractor (licensed) and you could possibly save 15-20% if you build it all yourself.

But, sometimes, the perfect answer.by Beth Marino Embarking on a gut rehab is not for the faint of heart. Experienced rehabber and real-estate agent Barb Van Stensel warns: \"\"It's a labor of love. It can cause divorces.\"\" To give yourself the best shot at success, read this primer. BUY A HOUSE: The first variable is the price of the property, since it only makes sense to rehab an old house if the cost is less than tearing it down and starting from scratch. ( In the case of the Leavitt house, our three contractors estimated that it would cost between $350,000 and $500,000 to demolish it and build a new one on the existing foundation.) Van Stensel, an agent at Keller Williams realty who has rehabbed a number of properties in Chicago, recommends that buyers take the value of the land (which can be estimated by looking at what developers have paid for teardowns in the neighborhood) and add around $50,000 (a ballpark figure for the value of house's existing foundation and framework). Roger Thompson, an agent with Prudential Preferred Properties who is selling the house on Leavitt and happens to be in the process of rehabbing his own home, advises that buyers add the value of any items in the house that will not need replacing—a new furnace, for example."

"text": "By Gene and Katie Hamilton Air circulation in the attic is important because on hot days it prevents the space from overheating. When the thermometer drops, proper air flow reduces attic humidity and improves insulation performance. A contractor will charge $358 to install a 14-inch power ventilator which includes the labor and material; you can do it for more than half and pocket a 65 percent savings. That's assuming you have carpentry experience and don't have a steeply pitched roof. If the idea of working on the roof and cutting a hole in it is too intimidating, don't hesitate to hire out the job. For about $125 you can buy what you need: a power ventilator, an electrical box and cover, a short piece of three-wire BX or Romex cable, a package of wire nuts and a quart of roofing cement. An electrical circuit is needed to power the fan. If there isn't one already in the attic, call an electrician. You'll need basic carpentry tools, and for cutting the roof opening rent a reciprocating saw. While you're working on the roof, you'll need someone inside the attic to help you."

"text": "\"Vocabulary What does Genetic carrier mean? Definitions for Genetic carrier Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word Genetic carrier. Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Genetic carrier A genetic carrier, is a person or other organism that has inherited a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease. Carriers are, however, able to pass the gene onto their offspring, who may then express the gene. This phenomenon is a direct result of the recessive nature of many genes. For example, the daughters of Queen Victoria, Princesses Alice and Beatrix, were carriers of the X-linked hemophilia gene. Both had children who continued to pass on the gene to succeeding generations of the royal houses of Spain and Russia, into which they married. Males who carried the altered gene had hemophilia, while females simply passed it to nearly half of their children. Up to 1 in 25 individuals of Northern European ancestry may be considered carriers of mutations that can lead to cystic fibrosis. The disease appears only when two of these carriers have children, as each pregnancy between them will have a 25% chance of producing a child with the disease."

"text": "Preconception Screening Why consider preconception screening? Preconception screening can identify factors that could negatively affect your health or your pregnancy. A general history, including family history and laboratory testing, are essential to identify potential issues, which may need to be addressed prior to becoming pregnant. A routine prenatal screen includes testing for anemia, blood type and infectious diseases. Based on your medical history and ethnic background, additional tests may be recommended. The routine panel includes: a complete blood count (CBC), blood type and screen, testing for immunity to rubella and varicella (if you have never had chickenpox), and hepatitis B, HIV and syphilis infection testing. Types of preconception screening Complete Blood Count The complete blood count (CBC) test checks for anemia, or low iron and/or blood count, which could negatively affect your pregnancy. Blood Type and Screen The blood type and screen checks for specific antibodies in your blood that can affect the health of your pregnancy. Your red blood cells have two important proteins, the AB protein and the Rh protein. These proteins identify your blood type."

An immunodeficiency disease is one that causes the immune system to break down, making the body susceptible to diseases. It is a rare, recessive genetic disorder of childhood that occurs in between 1 out of 40,000 and 1 out of 100,000 persons worldwide. The ailment is progressive. Patients with A-T are frequently wheelchair-bound by their teens, and the disease is generally fatal to patients by the time they reach their twenties. What are the signs of A-T? The first signs of the disease, which include delayed development of motor skills, poor balance, and slurred speech, usually occur during the first decade of life.

In fact, in your case, your genes for eye color are \"\"stronger\"\" than your husband's because brown is dominant over blue (we'll go more into this later). We usually get the opposite question where people wonder how someone with brown eyes could have blue-eyed kids. We answered this question previously and I encourage you to give it a once over after reading the rest of your answer. To explain why you can have brown, green, and blue-eyed kids, we need to go into a bit of detail about eye color genetics. In the simplest models of eye color, there are two genes involved. ( This model is too simple to explain a lot of things, but it will explain your situation.) Remember that for each gene, we inherit two copies, one from our mom and one from our dad. For gene 1, there are two possibilities, brown or blue. The brown version of gene 1 is dominant over the blue one."

Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare genetic condition that affects the nervous system, immune system and other body systems. Children with this condition have ataxia, or trouble coordinating their movements. They also have small clusters of enlarged blood vessels called telangiectasias, which occur in the eyes and on the surface of the skin. Compared to people who do not have ataxia-telangiectasia, they are at higher risk for developing certain types of blood cancers and immune system cancers. In people with ataxia-telangiectasia, the ataxia often begins in early childhood, typically before age 5 years, and gets worse over time. Most children with ataxia-telangiectasia will eventually find it hard to walk and will have problems with balance and hand coordination. They may have other nervous system problems as well, including the following: Slurred speech Oculomotor apraxia (trouble moving the eyes from side-to-side)Chorea (involuntary jerking movements)Myoclonus (muscle twitches)Neuropathy (disturbances in nerve function).

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a hereditary condition characterized by progressive neurologic problems that lead to difficulty walking and an increased risk of developing various types of cancer. Signs of A-T often develop in childhood. Children with A-T may begin staggering and appear unsteady (called ataxia) shortly after learning to walk. Most people with A-T will eventually need to use a wheelchair. People with A-T have normal intelligence, but over time, they develop slurred speech and have difficulty with writing and other tasks. Red marks called telangiectasias are caused by dilated capillaries, meaning tiny blood vessels, and may appear on the skin and eyes as people get older. People with A-T also have a weakened immune system and are prone to infections.

For example, you may have heard of cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Fragile X syndrome, muscular dystrophy, or Huntington disease. These are all examples of single gene disorders. As a rule, single gene disorders are not very common. For example, only one in 2,500 people are born with cystic fibrosis. There are a number of inheritance patterns of single gene disorders that are predictable when you know what they are. Autosomal dominant means that a person only needs one copy of the changed gene (genetic difference) in order to have the disorder. Usually, the changed gene is inherited from a parent who also has the disorder and every generation in the family may have members with the disorder. There are some instances in which a person has the gene that causes the disorder and does not show symptoms of the disorder, but can still pass the gene to his or her children. A person who carriers a gene for an autosomal dominant disorder has a 50% chance of passing the gene to each child."

It’s a group of disorders affecting voluntary muscles, mainly those around the hips and shoulders — the pelvic and shoulder girdles, also known as the limb girdles. You also may hear the term proximal used to describe the muscles that are most affected in LGMD. The proximal muscles are those closest to the center of the body; distal muscles are farther away from the center (for example, in the hands and feet). The distal muscles are affected late in LGMD, if at all. Over time (usually many years), the person with LGMD loses muscle bulk and strength. Eventually, he may need a power wheelchair or scooter, especially for long distances. LGMD can begin in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood or even later."

A person may have the gene for a particular genetic disorder and actually have the symptoms of the disease. A person may have the gene for a particular genetic disorder but be asymptomatic either because the onset of the disease will occur later in life (e.g., Huntington disease (1) ) or because the disease is under control (e.g. hemochromatosis (2) ). Some genes make it virtually inevitable that an individual will eventually show the symptoms of the disease (e.g., Huntington disease) whereas other genes merely make an individual more susceptible to developing a disease (e.g, heart disease, late-onset Alzheimer disease). ( 3) An individual may be a carrier of a genetic disorder, that is, have one copy of a gene associated with a recessive genetic disorder (4) and one copy of its normal counterpart. A carrier typically never shows symptoms of the disease because the normal copy of the gene is sufficient for normal functioning, but can pass on the defective gene to children.

Not enough oxygen is available to oxidize the carbon fuel in these engines completely into carbon dioxide and water; thus toxic by-products are produced. Catalytic converters are used in exhaust systems to provide a site for the oxidation and reduction of toxic by-products (like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons) of fuel into less hazardous substances such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen gas. Introductio n Catalytic converters were first widely introduced in American production cars in 1975 due to EPA regulations on toxic emissions reductions. The United States Clean Air Act required a 75% decrease in emissions in all new model vehicles after 1975, a decrease to be carried out with the use of catalytic converters. Without catalytic converters, vehicles release hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. These gases are the largest source of ground level ozone, which causes smog and is harmful to plant life. Catalytic converters can also be found in generators, buses, trucks, and trains — almost everything with an internal combustion engine has a form of catalytic converter attached to its exhaust system. A catalytic converter is a simple device that uses basic redox reactions to reduce the pollutants a car makes. It converts around 98% of the harmful fumes produced by a car engine into less harmful gases."

A catalytic converter is a device in a vehicle that reduces toxicity and exhaust emissions from an internal combustion engine. This part of the vehicle was introduced in the United States in 1975 to comply with tightening U. S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations on auto exhaust emissions. A failing catalytic converter can often cause a car to fail an emissions test, illuminate the “check engine” light or even result in a loss of engine power. Catalytic converters are designed to cut down on air pollution, filtering out certain hydrocarbons, and reducing smog issues in congested areas. They also play a big role when passing or failing a car inspection if a state requires it.“ Muffler and Catalytic Converter ” ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) by noricum How much does a catalytic converter cost? On average, a catalytic converter can cost anywhere from $700 to $1,750, including the parts and the labor. Labor costs will usually be in the $150 to $250 range, while the parts, depending on the make and model, can cost $500 to $1,150."

On vehicles manufactured before 1984, the catalytic converters are considered part of the exhaust system only, and not part of the emissions system. Laws and state inspection criteria differ between what is considered exhaust system only and what is considered the emissions system. In short, on vehicles manufactured before 1984 the catalytic converter (if the vehicle was originally manufactured with a catalytic converter then it must have one) will only be inspected visually for cracks or leaks as part of the exhaust system (1984 was the year catalytic converters were required to be standard equipment. Prior to 1984 some manufacturers delivered vehicles with catalytic converters, some did not). There are also Federal (EPA) laws governing exhaust and emissions systems, as well as county and city rules that may apply. Some important notes to remember on Texas laws governing exhaust systems are:1. Texas state inspectors inspect the exhaust system for holes, leaking seams, or patches on the muffler, resonators, exhaust pipe, tailpipe, or catalytic converter. 2. Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with muffler in good working order and in constant operation."

He hoped to make a nice bit of cash from its sale. Before he could do that, though, someone beat him to extracting value: A thief sneaked under the sport utility vehicle with a battery-powered saw, slicing from the Toyota’s underbelly what may be one of the most expensive small parts of the auto world: the catalytic converter, an essential emissions-control device made with small amounts of metals more precious than gold. Who knew? Mr. Fernandez didn’t. Inside the lobby of the New Windy City Mufflers and Brakes shop, Mr. Fernandez said he had heard a rumor that catalytic converters had suddenly become the rage on the black market here, but he did not believe it until his went missing on a well-lighted North Side street. Theft of scrap metals like copper and aluminum has been common here and across the country for years, fueled by rising construction costs and the building boom in China.

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If it originally ran on leaded fuel, then it wouldn't of come with a catalytic converter. If you did run leaded gas through a catalytic converter the converter would be ruined (in Ontario it's an offence to use leaded fuel with a catalytic converter and an offence to run the engine even if you replace the fuel without repairing / replacing the cat). This clearly isn't a problem though if the car was not manufactured with a catalytic converter. The lead was originally added to fuel as an 'anti-knock' agent. Some fuels (e.g., aircraft) still have this in their fuel, but in most parts of the modern world it has been completely banned for street vehicles. You can get additives you pour into your tank after the fact (as others have mentioned). When you go to fill your gas tank, you may notice that the nozzle doesn't fit well either - that's because unleaded fuel vehicles have a different aperture to prevent accidentally filling with leaded gas."

Generally, performance enhancements are achieved by reducing the back pressure of the factory exhaust system. Frequently a side effect of a free-flowing exhaust system is either a \"\"different\"\" sound, a higher noise level, or both, which is desirable to some people. Aftermarket exhaust parts can also be a styling upgrade by changes to the visible parts of the exhaust like the exhaust tips. The intent of an aftermarket component is not necessarily to modify the appearance, sound, or performance of the vehicle in question. While that is almost always the goal if the aftermarket component is replacing a fully working component, it is frequently the case that when the stock or factory component has worn out that an aftermarket component is either more widely available or less expensive than a factory or OEM replacement.

[ 1] This is done by using an individual pipe for each exhaust port that has smoother bends with a larger turn radius, decreasing airflow resistance, as well as a calculated pipe diameter to obtain a good scavenging effect for the specific engine capacity. The pipes then merge into a collector and then flow into a larger pipe (down pipe), just before the catalytic converter. With equal length headers, as each exhaust valve in the head of the engine is opened and exhaust gas is forced out, it passes down one of the header pipes and through to the down pipe, where the exhaust gas velocity causes a slight vacuum in another header pipe."

Petrol needs a certain octane level to prevent the engine from \"\"pinging\"\" or \"\"knocking\"\". Engine knock is caused by the uncontrolled detonation of the last part of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber and may damage the engine. The octane rating of a fuel is a measure of its resistance to knock - the higher the rating, the less will be the tendency of a fuel to cause knock. Adding lead compounds to petrol was the most cost-effective way of boosting its octane rating. Why is lead being removed from petrol? Lead has been widely used as a petrol additive since the 1920's. However, leaded petrol cannot be used by cars equipped with catalytic converters designed to reduce harmful exhaust emissions, as lead very rapidly and permanently renders the catalyst completely ineffective. This, together with the realization that lead emitted from vehicle exhausts has the potential to adversely affect human health, resulted in it being phased out, first in North America and then across Europe and, increasingly, the rest of the world.

Thus the third step is to ensure that your car is as economical with fuel as possible (no high-performance gas-guzzlers); use public transport whenever and wherever you can; combine your car usage with other people whenever you can; use a light foot on the accelerator and keep both acceleration and speed down. One day we might have really pollution-free vehicles, but until we do we must make the best of what we have. L. H. Watkins, Crowthorne, Berks. THE QUESTIONER is right that catalytic converters do nothing to prevent emissions of carbon dioxide."

It is true that your car will not pass inspection if the check engine light is on. However there is more to it than simply turning it off. By the way the easiest way to turn off the check engine light would be to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Inorder to pass inspection your car needs to complete a full drive cycle so that all (8) internal monitors have a status of \"\"Ready\"\". If any of the (8) monitors have a status of \"\"Incomplete\"\" that means you have not yet completed a full drive cycle and you need to drive your car around more. Your car will need to experience city driving situations and highway driving situations inorder to complete a full drive cycle. Usually if your check engine light is on that means you need some repair work done on your car but that is not always the case.

Most of the laws surround emissions control. All other states require one or two way catalytic converters which is probably what this vehicle has. California probably requires a three way catalytic converter but I'm not sure just speculating. You can install any kind of catalytic converter in your vehicle as long as it's legal in the state you live in. Even if you buy the vehicle in another state, you will have to register it in the state of California once you move there.

"text": "\"Catapult Physics Catapult physics is basically the use of stored energy to hurl a projectile (the payload), without the use of an explosive. The three primary energy storage mechanisms are tension, torsion, and gravity. The catapult has proven to be a very effective weapon during ancient times, capable of inflicting great damage. The main types of catapults used were the trebuchet, mangonel, onager, and ballista. These types of catapults will be described, and pictures and illustrations will be included. Catapult Physics – The Trebuchet Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet. Author: Chris O A trebuchet is a battle machine used in ancient times to throw heavy payloads at enemies. The payload could be thrown a far distance and do considerable damage, either by smashing down walls or striking the enemy while inside their stronghold. Among the various types of catapults, the trebuchet was the most accurate and among the most efficient in terms of transferring the stored energy to the projectile. In addition, it allowed greater consistency in the throws due to the fact that the same amount of energy could be delivered every time, by way of a raised counterweight."

"text": "\"Snatch Strap Facts Also known as tuggem or kinetic straps by Mike Lauterbach Recovery using snatch straps (snatching) is extremely dangerous if not done properly!. I will explain some fundamental physics involved, in an attempt to highlight the dangerous forces experienced. During snatching, the momentum of the recovery vehicle is converted into strain energy, stored in the snatch strap. It's like we are using the recovery vehicle's engine to 'wind-up' the strap. What this means is that all the energy that the fire-breathing V8 recovery vehicle has produced in those few seconds of acceleration is now stored in the rope ready to be released at an instant. The technique of snatch recovery is, in principle, very simple. A snatch rope (normally a 50mm wide, 8ton capacity belt) is fastened between the recovery vehicle and the stuck vehicle. The recovery vehicle is moved as close as possible to the stuck vehicle,The recovery vehicle accelerates forwards, eg in 1st or 2nd gear, low range. The slack of the snatch strap is taken up. The recovery vehicle will decelerate to a stop as the tension in the strap increases to the point where the stretched strap force equals the vehicle momentum force. Hopefully, the induced force will be enough to extract the stuck vehicle."

It is also the reason why one is stronger than the other; the sling is much light than the spoon or bucket. The naming of the machines help understand which one has which attachment. Mangonel comes from the latin word “manganon”, which means engine of war and has the simple spoon/ bucket attachment. An Onager was what Romans called their Mangonal because of the way the machine ‘kicks’ when fired. It also used to be called the Scorpion because of the way the sling-hook at the end of the arm resembled a scorpion’s stinger. Tension vs. Torsion Catapults use an energy storage mechanism to rotate the arm. It can be a tension device or a torsion device which attaches to the arm. The tension device is simple enough."

"text": "\"Westside Toastmasters is located in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California Chapter 11COMMON GESTURES SEEN REGULARLYThe number one gesture cluster women can't tolerate men doing at work People rarely think consciously about the effect of many of the seemingly simple non-verbal things they do. For example, when one person hugs another, most observers silently assume that the back patting that occurs towards the end of the hug is a gesture of affection and that the air kisses made - the sound made on the side of someone's cheek - is also affection. The reality is that the pat is used in the same way professional wrestlers use it - to tell the other person to end the hug and break the clinch. If you are really not too keen about hugging someone but are forced into it because the people ahead of you did it, you're likely to begin the back patting in the air even before the hug begins. The air kiss - with its accompanying sound - is given as a displacement of a real kiss that we don't want to give either. Most people use the Shoulder Tap to break a clinch - sincere huggers hold on tight. This chapter covers some of the most common head gestures and body language clusters you are likely to see in your day-to-day dealings with others. The Head Nod In most cultures the Head Nod is used to signify 'Yes' or agreement. It's a stunted form of bowing - the person symbolically goes to bow but stops short, resulting in a nod. Bowing is a submissive gesture so the Head Nod shows we are going along with the other person's point of view."

For nearly 100 years, the aircraft carrier has continued to evolve alongside the technological advancements of our Navy. The U. S. Navy’s first aircraft carrier, USS Langley (CV 1), was converted from the collier USS Jupiter (AC 3) and recommissioned March 20, 1922. Lagley had a displacement of 11,500 tons and measured 542 feet in length. She could travel at a speed of 15.5 knots (17.8 mph) and boasted a crew of 468 personnel. Though Langley was not the first ship with an installed flight deck or the first ship from which an airplane had taken off, her service marked the birth of the era of the carrier. She was also the sight of the first carrier catapult when her commanding officer, Cmdr. Kenneth Whiting, was catapulted from her deck."

An aircraft catapult is a device used to launch aircraft from ships—in particular aircraft carriers —as a form of assisted take off. It consists of a track built into the flight deck, below which is a large piston or shuttle that is attached through the track to the nose gear of the aircraft, or in some cases a wire rope called a catapult bridle is attached to the aircraft and the catapult shuttle. The ramps at the catapult ends on some aircraft carriers are used to catch the ropes so they can be reused; bridles have not been used on U. S. aircraft since the end of the Cold War, and all U. S. Navy carriers commissioned since then have not had the ramps. The last U. S. carrier commissioned with a bridle catcher was USS Carl Vinson; starting with USS Theodore Roosevelt the ramps were deleted. During Refueling and Complex Overhaul refits in the late 1990s–early 2000s, the bridle catchers were removed from the first three Nimitz -class aircraft carriers. USS Enterprise was the last U. S. Navy operational carrier with the ramps still attached before her decommissioning in 2012. At launch, a release bar holds the aircraft in place as steam pressure builds up, then breaks (or \"\"releases\"\"; older models used a pin that sheared), freeing the piston to pull the aircraft along the deck at high speed. Within about two to four seconds, aircraft velocity by the action of the catapult plus apparent wind speed (ship's speed plus or minus \"\"natural\"\" wind) is sufficient to allow an aircraft to fly away, even after losing one engine.

They are called \"\"Siege\"\" engines because their most common use was in aiding the efforts of a siege where the enemy was holed up within the walls of its fortification and waiting things out. The siege engine was used to tear down the walls, breaching them, so that military forces could enter the fortification. So let's take a look at some of the different types of siege engines There are a few different types and there are of course quite a few variations on each of them. This is to be expected when you have a couple of thousand years of development. I will give you a good overview of the major types and some of the major variations. The goal of a siege engine is either to destroy fortifications or somehow circumvent their effectiveness and there are four major types: The Catapult, The trebuchet, the Siege tower and the battering ram. The Catapult: Is a wooden machine that is designed to hurl projectiles, often stones. The drawing below gives you a good idea of what they look like although you probably already know that.

Instead of breaking our arms trying to toss balls into the air, let's make a simple machine that will do it for us. This catapult uses elastic kinetic energy stored in the rubber band to launch the ball skyward. Key Concepts Catapults store energy until you hit the trigger. You store energy in a rubber band every time you stretch it out - the pull you feel from the rubber band is called potential energy. Catapults store potential energy by stretching ropes and rubber bands, and even by bending and flexing the wooden lever. The more energy you pack in, the higher your ball will go.

What this measures is how much of the energy that you put into a machine you can get back out. For example, if you put 100 Joules of energy into a machine, and got 50 Joules back out (and the other 50 Joules was wasted by the machine), you would have 50% efficiency. You can calculate percent efficiency by taking how much energy you got out, dividing it by how much you started with, and multiplying by 100%. So, if you put 10 Joules in and got 4 Joules out, you would have: % Efficiency = (4 J) / (10 J) * 100% = 40% So, if you put in 50 Joules and got 45 Joules back, you would have: % Efficiency = (45 J) / (50 J) * 100% = ? -Tamara (published on 10/22/2007)Follow-Up #1: calculating machine efficiency Q:well i calculated this and got 90% i did 45/50=0.9x100=90 sp is the effiency 90 percent - zakiyyah (age 14) london/southall A: Yes.

Adjust the minimum speed appropriately by reducing take-off mass, and you can take off with the catapult, but without headwind. – Peter Kämpf Jul 15 '15 at 7:38If the carrier can't turn into the wind, this certainly depends entirely on the wind speed and direction. – Julian Hzg Jul 15 '15 at 10:55Perhaps the carrier will at the very least need to maneuver to face into the wind.

Companies create slogans to use in various marketing efforts in hopes that the phrases will stick in people's minds. That way, when a consumer needs a product or service offered by a variety of companies, that consumer will choose the product or service that is top-of-mind from slogan recognition. Writing a Slogan Slogans must be memorable. They must give people an idea of what your company or product does and must relate to your business in some way. Even though they consist of only a few words, slogans can take hours, sometimes much more, to write. Each word has to be perfect. If you are writing a slogan, look at your logo for ideas. Describe your logo and whittle the description to a few words. The slogan should match the feel of the logo, because they are often displayed together."

Here's how six of the most enduring taglines came to be.1. “ Just Do It.” The famous Nike slogan came from a rather unlikely source - spree killer Gary Gilmore, who received the death penalty for murdering two people in Utah in July, 1976. Just before a firing squad did their duty, Gilmore was asked if he had any last words. “ Let’s do it,” he simply said. When Dan Wieden of Wieden+Kennedy was tapped to create a tagline for Nike a decade later, something about Gilmore’s words just seemed to fit. “ Let’s” was changed to “Just” to add a dash of emphasis.

N) could be told with the succession of slogans it has used over the decades - some remembered within the company as rallying cries, some more as punch lines. Ford Flex vehicles are lined up for sale at a Ford dealership in Tustin, California January 4, 2012. REUTERS/Mike Blake Now, six years into a comeback from near collapse, the automaker has a new slogan that underscores confidence that its recovery is almost complete: “Go Further. ”For an automaker with 166,000 workers worldwide and a history of riding boom into bust, the slogan is intended in part as a warning against complacency after three years of profits, executives say. “Go Further” will be used in marketing campaigns, replacing “Drive One” in North America and “Feel the Difference” in Europe. Those slogans were coined to help overcome wariness on the part of consumers about the quality and performance of Ford cars as the car maker bounced back. “We are at a different point now in our company’s history,” Jim Farley, global head of sales and marketing, told Reuters. Ford is not the only automaker that has relied heavily on a catchy slogan. Crosstown rival Chrysler, now under the control of Italy’s Fiat Sp A FIA.

Donald Trump supporters are naturally celebrating as the GOP candidate has now managed to become the new President Elect. Hillary Clinton supporters, who were so hopeful to see the first woman President of the United States voted in last night, have been left feeling empty. Wondering what went wrong. And wondering where to go next. To that end, here are five facts to know about impeachment right now. Because, you know. When Donald Trump was voted in by the American people on Tuesday night, he made history as perhaps the least qualified and most divisive president-elect in United States history. Trump has never held office ( The Apprentice office doesn't count), and managed to base his entire campaign on his reputation as an outsider.

They also wonder how a few pesky words strung together can be so darn important in marketing. The best definition of a slogan is that it is a short phrase that is used to express an idea or concept. It's not a mere description of what you do. “ Globo-chem: A chemical company” is not a slogan. ( Or it's a really, really bad one.)

"text": "Shepard Fairey likes to describe his politically charged posters, paintings, and murals as “propaganda,” but propagation, by any means necessary, plays an equally important role in the Los Angeles artist’s operating philosophy. The approach dates to 1989, when Fairey, inspired by punk rock and skateboard DIY culture, reworked a randomly selected photograph of actor Andre the Giant. The image went viral the old-fashioned way, spread by Fairey and his fans via stickers, stencils, rubber stamps, and wheat-paste posters. Paired with the slogan “Obey,” lifted from 1988 horror film They Live, Fairey made his mark in cities all around the world with these cryptic signifiers of mindless authoritarian culture. Fairey’s gift for crafting uncommonly catchy imagery culminated in 2008 when his “Obama Hope” poster became the decade’s most iconic piece of political advertising. Created in less than a day, the mixed-media stencil original now resides in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery. Before and after “Hope,” Fairey “bombed” dozens of unauthorized locations, resulting in roughly 18 arrests. At the same time, the South Carolina native figured out how to parlay his signature style into art marketing juggernaut Obey Giant Industries, which organizes his gallery paintings, limited-edition prints, mural commissions, and graphic design projects. Fairey keeps it coming in Covert to Overt. The hard-cover picture book showcases recent works rendered with pinpoint precision and aimed with a subversive eye toward all things Americana."

According to Smart Money, Subway franchisees make a “Profit of roughly $1.20 a sandwich.” Product discounting is one of the hottest topics in franchising. Here’s why: Franchisors make money off the gross sales of their franchisees, regardless of franchisee profitability. Some franchisors make additional money marking up ingredients and food products to their franchisees. Public franchisors benefit from higher sales – and stock prices – that are not tied to franchisee profitability. Smart Money.com surveyed franchisees from different franchise chains regarding the cost to them of some current and recent promotions.

"text": "A category manager is hired by a company to focus on the management of a particular category of products. Manging a product involves buying the resources needed to produce it, handling the company's current inventory levels of the product, and working with the sales and marketing team to promote the product and set prices. The job involves analyzing profit margins, compiling and presenting data to management and other departments, and promoting products to customers. Many different people and roles are involved in the output of a particular product from its creation to it being in the hands of a consumer. Public relations, advertising, inventory specialists, marketing, and retail employees all play a part in a product's success. It is the job of the category manager to coordinate all of these roles, making them all work towards the success of the product and the company. The category manager is responsible for contacting and managing both buyers and vendors of products. Inventory and securing production supplies are his or her responsibility. Prices are determined in part by his or her analysis of sales trends, competitors, and buying habitats. Data of sales is compiled and presented to management, along with recommendations for changes and improvement of the product."

"text": "You know the old joke: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. In a nutshell, that describes how manufacturers of brand-name products react to competition from private labels. On one hand, manufacturers are right to be concerned: There are more private labels—“store-brand” goods—on the market than ever before. Collectively, private labels in the United States command higher unit shares than the strongest national brand in 77 of 250 supermarket product categories. And they are collectively second or third in 100 of those categories. But on the other hand, many manufacturers have overreacted to the threat posed by private labels without fully recognizing two salient points. First, private-label strength generally varies with economic conditions. That is, private-label market share generally goes up when the economy is suffering and down in stronger economic periods. Over the past 20 years, private-label market share has averaged 14 % of U. S. dollar supermarket sales. In the depth of the 1981–1982 recession, it peaked at 17 % of sales; in 1994, when private labels received great media attention, it was more than two percentage points lower at 14.8 %."

Outlook does not use the registry for a master category list; they are stored in the default message store (mailbox or pst). If you are setting up a new system and using your old pst the color categories will be available on the new system. If you imported from an old data file, right click on the root folder (Outlook Today), choose Properties and click the button to Upgrade to color categories. This will assign random colors to the categories assigned to items in your data file. You can use Group policy to push Categories out to users, merging new categories with their existing categories. In the Group Policy Editor (with the Outlook 2007 or greater ADM files installed), look under Miscellaneous. You can also add the categories by adding a string value under the policy registry key."

The truth is, many marketing professionals do not know what this software can do, much less what specific companies’ versions can do. And the software companies themselves make it worse by not being specific about their capabilities and areas of focus. There are five specific categories of social media software, and lumping them all under “social media management” does us all a disservice. I’ll clarify the categories below…but first please take this little quiz, and see if you can match the software to its benefits messaging (taken from the website home pages of the companies listed). ( NOTE: The all-time best score is just 6 out of 9 correct)Hard to figure out who does what, right? Everyone in this industry needs to sharpen their messaging and be more specific about what they do. Let’s at least try to sort out the categories of software that exist. The 5 Categories of Social Media Software First, let me reiterate that all of this is more about the wizard than the wand. I don’t care which of this software you procure, if you don’t know why you need it, and how to use it, it will turn into a pit of despair and social media dream killer faster than you can say “Lebron chokes in the playoffs."

Congress created the L-1 nonimmigrant visa category in 1970 primarily to assist multinational companies that experienced difficulties, in bringing to the United States critical personnel temporarily from abroad. To be eligible for an L-1 visa, a foreign national normally must have been employed by the foreign company continuously for at least one year during the preceding three years in a managerial or executive position or in a position where he/she gained specialized knowledge. The individual must be coming to the United States to provide services to the same employer or a branch office, subsidiary or affiliate. For this reason L-1 visa holders are known as intracompany transferees. Either the employing entity abroad or the prospective U. S. employer may be the petitioner, assuming each is otherwise qualified. For many years, the L-1 visa has been a vital tool both for U. S. companies with an international presence and for international firms expanding into the United States. Although not a heavily used visa in terms of numbers, the L-1 visa has done much to help U. S. companies be competitive. It also facilitates foreign investment in the United States. In fact, it is the principal immigration vehicle U. S. companies use to bring in qualified personnel temporarily from their operations abroad to serve as managers or executives, or to apply certain specialized knowledge."

In spite of their active and pressured life as seminary professor, conference speakers, church leaders, authors, parents of four, mentors to scores, they had one of the neatest relationships I had ever seen. Slowly but deliberately, “Prof” leaned into the microphone:“Jean and I have two unconditional commitments. We are unconditionally committed to Christ as Lord. We are unconditionally committed to each other. ”That was it! We sat hushed and stunned. Is it that simple? Is it that profound?

"text": "Part 3: Strategic procurement planning Procurement guidance for public entities. Developing a procurement strategy3.1 In Part 3 of our overarching guide Public sector purchases, grants, and gifts: Managing funding arrangements with external parties, we discuss the need for a public entity to take a strategic approach to managing public funds. Although it may not always be separately identified as a specific discussion, this high level thinking will often involve considering the different types of funding arrangement a public entity could use. In these processes, a public entity will often make fundamental decisions on the types of funding arrangements it will use to achieve its goals, and on how important a particular type of funding arrangement is for its work.3.2 If these issues have been well considered, it should be relatively simple to understand the importance of procurement to the public entity achieving its overall goals and business strategy. This Part provides guidance on developing a procurement strategy when procurement has been identified as integral to the business strategy. Strategic procurement planning and analysis Expectations3.3 We expect that each public entity will have a thorough understanding of the:type of procurement that it does;value and risk associated with the procurement; andimportance of procurement to achieving its overall goals and business strategy.3.4 A public entity should develop a procurement strategy if procurement is integral to achieving the overall business strategy.3.5 Where procurement is not integral, a public entity should still be able to demonstrate:a knowledge of the type, value, and risk associated with the goods or services it procures; andthat policies and procedures are in place for those involved in procurement activity to ensure that good procurement principles and practices are adopted. Guidance3.6 A public entity's relevant policies and procedures should include a strategic component that assesses whether procurement is sufficiently integral to the business strategy that it warrants a separate procurement strategy. To do this, a public entity will need to understand what it is procuring and how integral this is to its overall business goals.3.7 Regardless of the size of the function, a public entity should know:what goods and services it procures;how much it spends by category type and also on individual procurements;its main suppliers and the volume and value of the procurements; andthe main markets it procures in.3.8 The public entity should include guidance in its policies and procedures on how it will develop and implement its procurement strategy. The guidance should cover:who will have overall responsibility for procurement planning;who will be involved in the planning process and when they will be involved; andhow the procurement strategy will be linked with the public entity's broader strategic planning processes.3.9 If the procurement function is large, a public entity may need to have systems in place to gather and analyse information on its procurement activities. It will also need to decide:how it will gather this information; andhow the information will be analysed and used for decision-making.3.10 The strategies a public entity uses to approach markets can range from simple credit card purchases with local suppliers to complex multi-stage offers."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Cars & Vehicles Motorcycles Motorcycle and ATV Maintenance Honda Motorcycles What does a CDI box do? Flag What does a CDI box do? Answer by Ol big al Confidence votes 3.4KA CDI, or Capacitor Discharged Ignition is a system that is linked to the ignition of some petrol engine driven vehicles. Its purpose is to store an electrical charge that is discharged through the ignition coil and thus increases the power to the spark plug/s for a very powerful, high-energy spark. This prevents fouling of the spark plug/s. A CDI can be disconnected in some vehicles and the engine would still run, but with a less powerful spark to the spark plug/s.11 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Cotton55 3 Contributions How do you test a cdi box on a motorcycle? Check ur spark plug and if none of them are firing the its ur cdi box Can you bypass the cdi box on your ATV? No. How do you know if a cdi box is bad?first check your spark plug then test your ignition coil if these are good then it is probably the cdi but there is no way to test a cdi box."

"text": "\"Clinical Documentation Improvement—A Physician Perspective: Insider Tips for getting Physician Participation in CDI Programs By Adele L. Towers, MD, MPHThe following is likely not a surprise to those clinical documentation improvement specialists (CDS) working day in and day out improving physician documentation. But for the record-clinical documentation improvement (CDI) is not taught in medical school. The truth is that most physicians have no idea what CDI means and why it should be important to them. But it is important. CDI programs have increased significantly over the past 10 years due to changes in reimbursement and increased scrutiny by third party payers. As a result, hospitals have invested a significant amount of time and resources to hire CDSs to review charts and identify conditions that were evaluated, monitored, or treated during the hospital stay but were not documented in a way that can be coded. Physician participation and buy-in can be difficult since some physicians feel that CDI programs exist only to benefit the hospital and just add more work. But some insider tips-provided by a physician-can be used to promote CDI programs to members of the medical staff and engage their willing participation in the process. Make CDI about Quality The main message to physicians should be that CDI is a quality initiative. When asking physicians why good clinical documentation is necessary, they will most likely say that it is to document the care of the patient and to communicate with other providers."

She has been teaching ASL for 20 years and enjoys sharing her native language with new users. While the concept of Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDI) is not new, many people are not familiar with what they do, so misunderstandings can occur on how to utilize deaf interpreters. What is a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI)? CDI’s are deaf or hard of hearing individuals who are nationally certified by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID). They serve as an equal member of the interpreting team along with a certified hearing interpreter. The CDI interprets the message from the deaf consumer to the hearing interpreter and the hearing interpreter then relays the message to the hearing consumer. When to use a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI)? A CDI is always a great addition to the interpreting team."

LE Charts are Lambert Conformal Conic Projection charts, and are similar to VNC Charts in that a straight line on an LE represent a great circle route. Communication On back page of the LE are two blocks of information, the first concerning the VHF frequencies assigned to each of the major airports on the chart with control towers (including ATIS, Tower and Ground frequencies), and the second concerning the Area Control Centre and Terminal Control VHF frequencies, including peripheral station radio frequencies. On the chart itself, the name of the applicable Area Control Centre, as well as the PAL frequencies, are identified using a boxed format. The PAL box on the right shows that Vancouver Centre can be contacted on 134.0 MHz., as well 381.4 MHz. ( UHF). Scale The scale of the LE Charts vary—in the above example, for instance, the upper left and right corners of the back page show that LO 2 provides a scale of 18 NM per 1”, while LO 1is scaled at 20 NM to 1”. This variation in scale, however, is of little consequence, since all distances along airways between navigation aids and between intersections are published on the chart. In the case that a measurement is required—for example between a navigation aid and an airport—a scale bar that appears at the top and bottom of the chart can be used."

"text": "CDI Power Supply Rae-San CDI Power Supply Module WHAT IS IT? This is the original “Raymodule”. It’s a small metal box – 112mm x 61mm x 31mm that allows your CDI bike to continue running when the high voltage stator coils have failed – without replacing the stator. Some bikes – most notably the Honda CX require the complete removal of the engine to replace the stator. WHAT DOES IT DO? The CDI Power power module replaces the Stator high voltage coils by generating the necessary high DC voltage – around 150 to 200V DC from the bikes 12V system. It also does some clever stuff to sense when the ignition fires and removes the voltage – allowing the ignition SCR in the CDI to turn off, and then after it detects that the SCR is off, re-applies the power – but at a controlled charge rate to charge the capacitors back up in the CDI ready for the next ignition event. It does not provide any different ignition timing as the original CDI and ignition triggers are still used, it allows the factory ignition modules to continue to be used with a failed or failing CDI stator coils. The description here refers to CDI – Capacitive Discharge Ignition. Often motorcycles ignitions are referred to as CDI boxes – when a lot of the time they are NOT."

What is a DBA and am I required to use one? \"\" DBA\"\" stands for \"\"Doing Business As\"\". A DBA may be required for use to solicit insurance business in the State of California if the applicant's or licensee's true legal name of an individual or a business entity cannot be used. If you are a business entity and the true legal name of the business entity does not meet Section 1724.5 of the California Insurance Code (CIC) and the true name does not meet one of the four exemptions stated in Section 2052.4 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), the California Department of Insurance (CDI) will require the business entity to use a DBA name for all solicitation of insurance in the State of California. If you are an individual licensed producer, you may request permission from CDI to use a DBA name for solicitation of insurance business in the State of California.2. How does CDI review a proposed business entity's legal name or DBA name and approve that name? CDI's Producer Licensing Bureau, Business Entity Unit will first review the legal business name and any proposed DBA names using the following criteria: CDI reviews the application to determine if the applicant is conducting any business, other than insurance, which amounts to 80 percent or more of the total business conducted by the applicant. If the business entity is performing other work more than 80 percent of the time, CDI determines if the business type meets one of four exemptions ( Section 2052.4 of the CCR). If the business entity qualifies for an exemption, the name of the business entity may be approved."

"text": "\"Clostridium difficile - an introduction Clostridium difficile (“C. diff”) is a potentially fatal pathogenic bacterial species that lives in the inner lining of the colon and causes painful diarrhea. Spread easily, and attacking people when they are at their weakest, this bacterium primarily affects people in hospitals and long-term care facilities, especially right after they have taken antibiotics. While other healthcare-associated infections have declined in recent years due to stronger infection control and environmental hygiene in hospitals, C. difficile rates are increasing. The “C. diff” infection is linked to over 30,000 deaths every year in the U. S. alone. In 2009, more than 90 percent of these deaths occurred in patients 65 years and older, as they are more likely to be prescribed antibiotics or antihistamines. [ 1]C. difficile infection (CDI) typically develops after a patient has both taken antibiotics and been exposed to the C. diff bacterial spores, which are usually transmitted from other patients. This may occur as a result of contamination of the patient’s environment, or shared equipment, or via the hands of healthcare personnel. While C. difficile is found normally in about 30-70% of healthy individuals, other gut bacteria usually prevent them from gaining too great a foothold. Antibiotics are powerful chemicals that change the composition of the microorganisms living in a healthy gut. Misuse and overuse of broad- spectrum antibiotics give antibiotic-resistant C. difficile an opportunity to grow."

"text": "focus /Discrepancies between observational studies and randomized controlled trials Francesco Trotta Pharmacovigilance Dept. Italian Medicines Agency Focus Farmacovigilanza 2012;73 (11):1Observational Studies (OSs) and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are the main types of studies used to evaluate treatments. In the last ones, patients are assigned to active or control group by chance - through randomization - in order to reduce errors or bias and to remark only the differences due to the treatment. On the contrary, observational studies do not require randomization: differences in outcomes are only observed after a particular therapy has been opted for. Although RCTs are considered to be more reliable than OSs when evaluating treatment effectiveness, meta-analyses that confronted the results on different interventions typologies from both types of studies did not systematically show significant differences in the estimates of the effects. [ 1-3] For example, considering the association between hypertension treatment and first stroke episode, the final estimates indicated a relative risk of 0.58 (95% confidence interval, 0.50 to 0.67) for RCTs and an odds ratio of 0.62 (95% confidence interval, 0.60 to 0.65) for OSs. More often observational studies (compared to randomized controlled trials) tend to overestimate the effects of the treatment and show more variability in the estimates of the effects because of residual confounding. In general, both RCTs and OSs estimates of treatment effectiveness are significantly affected by the quality of the study design. In RCTs, for example, correct randomization is fundamental; if randomization is not adequate the effects of the treatment are overestimated. [ 4,5]Comparison of studies Although randomized controlled trials are preferable when evidences of treatment effectiveness must be provided (every regulatory agency requires these studies to allow the registration of a new drug), things become more complex when the risk of adverse effects needs to be assessed."

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Motorcycles How to test stator on yamaha raptor 660?my 2001 yamaha raptor 660 is not providing any spark with the spark plug... i already tested the ignition coil and it works and now im not sure weather it is the cdi or the stator... so if you could let me know how to test the cdi and the stator so i know witch of the two to buy. Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First and easiest is to check if the alternator is charging. To do this you need a multimeter and measure battery voltage with the bike not running, you should get around 12 volts next start the bike and test again you should now be getting 13-14.5 volts. You can test the stator by unplugging it from the wiring harness, and testing the 3 leads against each other for resistance (not running). Test #1 lead and #2, #1 lead and #3, and #2 lead and 3, for resistance against each other. They should all have less that 1 ohm resistance, if any more shows, the stator is bad. You can use this guide for some other tests for the regulator and stator... http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/pdfs/Trou... Testing the CDI would be a matter of measuring input voltage to the CDI, and output voltage to the coil. If output is not within spec of the service manual, but the input voltage is,then the CDI will need to be replaced. You will need a peak voltage adapter, or meter to measure the output.

"text": "Clostridium difficile (C.difficile, C.diff) Guidelines for Adults and Children 2017 Update by Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA)L Clifford Mc Donald Dale N Gerding Stuart Johnson Johan S Bakken Karen C Carroll Susan E Coffin Erik R Dubberke Kevin W Garey Carolyn V Gould Ciaran Kelly … Show more Clinical Infectious Diseases, cix1085, https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/cix1085Published: 15 February 2018Abstract A panel of experts was convened by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) to update the 2010 clinical practice guideline on Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in adults. The update, which has incorporated recommendations for children (following the adult recommendations for epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment), includes significant changes in the management of this infection and reflects the evolving controversy over best methods for diagnosis. Clostridium difficile remains the most important cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea and has become the most commonly identified cause of healthcare-associated infection in adults in the United States. Moreover, C. difficile has established itself as an important community pathogen. Although the prevalence of the epidemic and virulent ribotype 027 strain has declined markedly along with overall CDI rates in parts of Europe, it remains one of the most commonly identified strains in the United States where it causes a sizable minority of CDIs, especially healthcare-associated CDIs. This guideline updates recommendations regarding epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, infection prevention, and environmental management. IDSA Guideline EXECUTIVE SUMMARYSummarized below are recommendations intended to improve the diagnosis and management of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in adults and children. CDI is defined by the presence of symptoms (usually diarrhea) and either a stool test positive for C. difficile toxins or detection of toxigenic C. difficile, or colonoscopic or histopathologic findings revealing pseudomembranous colitis. In addition to diagnosis and management, recommended methods of infection control and environmental management of the pathogen are presented. The panel followed a process used in the development of other Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines, which included a systematic weighting of the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) system ( Figure 1 )."

"text": "Science Biology Cells Q: What Limits Cell Size? A: Quick Answer The primary limitation on the size to which a single cell can grow is a mathematical principle called the surface to volume ratio. As the size of a three-dimensional object grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface does, which causes metabolic problems for cells. Additionally, the amount of cytoplasm the nucleus can contain and the structural limitations on the cell prevent them from being larger as well.

Lipowitz Cellular Constituents Lubrication of Joints Arthrocentesis Pathologic Changes Of Articular Tissues References Normal synovial fluid is clear, pale yellow, viscid, and does not clot. Studies of mammalian synovial fluid have found considerable similarities among species, although notable differences do exist. The majority of investigative work determining the composition of synovial fluid has been performed on bovine synovial fluid mainly because large quantities of it are available. Synovial fluid is a plasma dialysate modified by constituents secreted by the joint tissues. The major difference between synovial fluid and other body fluids derived from plasma is the high content of hyaluronic acid (mucin) in synovial fluid. The exact source of the hyaluronic acid has been the subject of debate. It is generally assumed, however, that both fibroblasts beneath the synovial membrane intima and synovial membrane-lining cells produce this mucopolysaccharide constituent of synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid is a nonsulfated polysaccharide composed of equimolar quantities of D-glucuronic acid and N -acetyl- D -glucosamine residues. ( 4) It was first identified in joint fluid by acetic acid precipitation. The normal viscosity of synovial fluid is due to the hyaluronic acid."

"text": "Homework Help > Science Why does the surface area to volume ratio increase as the cell size decreases?print Print document PDF list Cite Expert Answers Payal Khullar | Certified Educator Surface Area to Volume ratio (SA: V), as the name suggests, is the total surface area per unit volume of something (in our case, a cell). As we know, surface area has units in square and volume has units in cube. Hence, Surface: Volume (or Surface/ Volume) is measured in an inverse unit of length. SA: V =Before answering the question, it is important to first understand the relationship of the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and cell size. A cell is like a compartment where numerous chemical activities take place. Like any living thing, cells grow and increase in size. The higher the volume (or capacity) of the cell, the larger such chemical reactions can take place. For such reactions to take place, a cell will need chemical raw materials or nutrients, which can enter the cell from the outside environment via diffusion in the cell membrane (cell membrane is like a covering present all over the cell surface that separates cell interior from the surrounding environment). This implies that a higher surface area will permit larger exchange of substances to take place. As the cell increases in size, the volume of the cell also increases and so does the surface area."

"text": "Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion. Topics: Surface-area-to-volume ratio, Cell biology, Chemical kinetics Pages: 6 (1322 words) Published: May 26, 2003Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the cell quickly and allow waste to diffuse out of the cell quickly. If the cells were any bigger than this then it would take too long for the nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the cell so the cell would probably not survive. Single celled organisms can survive as they have a large enough surface area to allow all the oxygen and nutrients they need to diffuse through. Larger multi-celled organisms need organs to respire such as lungs or gills. Method The reason I chose to do this particular experiment is because I found it very interesting and also because the aim, method, results- basically the whole experiment would be easily understood by the average person who knew nothing about Surface Area/Volume Ratio. The variable being tested in this experiment is the rate of diffusion in relation to the size of the gelatin cube."

The vast majority of cells in your body and cells that form bacteria are too small to see without a microscope. Usually, when a cell gets too large, it divides or stops growing. Cells remain small because all materials that are exchanged between the cell and its environment, like oxygen and glucose, must pass through the cell membrane. If materials cannot be exchanged efficiently, then the cell could die. In this activity, you will explore how surface area and volume limit the size of cells.

Learning Objectives Describe how gas pressure influences the flow of gases during respiration Key Takeaways Key Points Atmospheric pressure is the sum of all the partial pressures of the gases in the atmosphere, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. In the atmosphere, the partial pressure of oxygen is much greater than the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. The partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere is much greater in comparison to the lungs, creating a pressure gradient; this allows oxygen to flow from the atmosphere into the lungs during inhalation. Key Termsatmospheric pressure: the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an areapartial pressure: the pressure one component of a mixture of gases would contribute to the total pressure Gas Pressure and Respiration The respiratory process can be better understood by examining the properties of gases. Gases move freely with their movement resulting in the constant hitting of particles against vessel walls. This collision between gas particles and vessel walls produces gas pressure. Air is a mixture of gases: primarily nitrogen (N 2; 78.6 percent), oxygen (O 2; 20.9 percent), water vapor (H 2 O; 0.5 percent), and carbon dioxide (CO 2; 0.04 percent). Each gas component of that mixture exerts a pressure. The pressure for an individual gas in the mixture is the partial pressure of that gas."

Rebreather diving is used by recreational, military and scientific divers in applications where it has advantages over open circuit scuba, and surface supply of breathing gas is impracticable. The main advantages of rebreather diving are extended gas endurance, and lack of bubbles. Rebreathers are generally used for scuba applications, but are also occasionally used for bailout systems for surface supplied diving. Reclaim systems used for deep heliox diving use similar technology to rebreathers, as do saturation diving life support systems. Atmospheric diving suits also use rebreather technology to recycle breathing gas, but this article covers the technology, hazards and procedures of ambient pressure rebreathers carried by the diver. Rebreathers are more complex to use than open circuit scuba, and have more potential points of failure, so acceptably safe use requires a greater level of skill, attention and situational awareness, which is usually derived from understanding the systems, diligent maintenance and overlearning the practical skills of operation and fault recovery.

Biology2 Answers11Mayra Ahmed Share Oct 22, 2014Prokaryotic Cell \"\"Pro\"\" is from a Greek word meaning \"\"Before\"\" and \"\"Karyon\"\" means \"\"Nucleus\"\". Prokaryotic cell lack a proper well defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane that is why the genetic material becomes dispersed inside the cell. The whole organism is composed of a single cell. These cell lack organelles like mitochondria and golgi apparatus etc. Example : Bacteria Eukaryotic Cell \"\"Eu\"\" means \"\"Well\"\" and \"\"Karyon\"\" means \"\"Nucleus\"\". Eukaryotic cells have a well defined nucleus and nuclear membrane and all the genetic material is safe inside the nucleus.

As a cell increases in size, it usually does not make extra copies of DNA. If a cell became too large, an \"\"information crisis\"\" would occur. The cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. The rate at which food, oxygen, and water enter the cell, as well as wast products leave the cell, depends on the surface area of the cell and the cell's volume. If a cell gets too large, it would be more difficult to get sufficient amounts of oxygen and nutrients in and waste products out.2. a) Describe what is meant by each of the following terms: cell volume, cell surface area, ratio of surface area to volume Cell volume is the amount of space the cell occupies and is found by multiplying the length of the cell by the width and by the height fo the cell."

The question will be about the size/shape of the particular organism or how its size/shape is adapted to its usually adverse surroundings. Exchange In Organisms A small organism, like an amoeba, has a large surface area: volume ratio and so it can take all the oxygen it needs by diffusion across the body surface. However, a large organism, like a mammal, has a much smaller surface area: volume ratio, so it cannot get all the oxygen it needs in this way. ( A large surface area: volume ratio is preferable for carrying out exchange of substances). Such large organisms need special respiratory organs such as lungs for taking in oxygen. Examples Alveoli in the lungs have a large surface area: volume ratio meaning gas exchange in humans occurs at a fast rate. The filaments used in gas exchange for fish also have a large surface area: volume ratio as its surfaces are covered in lamellae. This larger ratio means it is suitable for diffusion."

Water and mineral salts are transported through a plant in xylem vessels. Movement of water is a passive process in which the water moves down a water potential gradient from soil to air. 3. The energy for this process comes from the Sun, which causes evaporation of water from the wet walls of mesophyll cells in leaves. Water vapour in the air spaces of the leaf diff uses out of the leaf through stomata, in a process called transpiration. This loss of water sets up a water potential gradient throughout the plant. 4."

Medical assistants, sometimes called MAs, and certified nursing assistants, also called nursing aides or CNAs, both work with patients, but their job descriptions and educational tracks are quite different. Medical assistants perform a broader variety of non-medical assignments, including administrative tasks such as filing, answering phones. They also may do medical tasks such as taking histories or drawing blood. Salaries vary in both specialties depending on where you work, whether you're certified and how many years you've been at your place of employment. Average Salaries According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for a medical assistant is $13.87 per hour, or $28,860 per year, while the median annual salary for nursing aides is $11.54 per hour, or $24,010 per year. Education and Salary If you attend an accredited school and take a competency test to receive certification as either an MA or CNA, you will make more money than if you don't have your certification. Medical assistants are often trained on the job, but to become a certified MA, you need to go through a program certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. An MA course takes between one to two years, depending on whether the program offers an associate's degree."

What services can an RN provide? A registered professional nurse (RN) is a licensed health care professional who helps patients to achieve optimal health and prevent disease or injury. RNs provide compassionate care that is respectful of each patient's values and wishes. They coordinate and supervise care provided by other personnel, such as licensed practical nurses or home health aides. RNs provide health teaching to patients, families, other care providers and the public. They participate in health research and in making health care policies. RNs may work independently, in collaboration with other health care personnel or under clinical supervision (i.e., from a physician or nurse practitioner). They work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, community residences, mental health facilities, clinics, private practices, surgery centers, county health departments, correctional facilities, work places, camps, schools and private homes. In clinics, RNs take health histories and perform physical examinations to identify and address health problems and unmet patient care needs."

"text": "\"C. N. A License Transfer Since the process of reciprocity, or certification transfer, is so important to a certified nurse aide, we've decided to clarify what it actually is, when you need it, and how you may use it in the future. We start with the basic things you need to know about this process and then present the steps you must follow in order to apply for certification by reciprocity in a given state. It might seem like a long process at first but in fact there are only three essential steps you need to complete. You might want to bookmark or print this page in order to reference it later and make sure you check each step as you complete it. What is reciprocity in nursing? Reciprocity is a process by which a certified nurse aide is able to transfer a CNA certification or license from one state to another. You must be already certified or licensed in one state in order to request reciprocity in another state. Example: you are certified as a nurse aide in the state of Texas and would like to be certified in California. When do you need to apply for reciprocity? Any time you want to work as a certified nurse aide (CNA) in a state other than your own state you must apply for certification in the new state."

This is discouraging to me, I had plans to be a CNA, because I wanted to take care of people that can’t care for themselves, but not get paid so little and brake my back taking care of the sick & elderly. wow!Reply Antonio says:25 atyou are right, i am a cna student so, when we get to the facility to practice, we found out the salary, the condition of the work. i do not understand why a job that has a lot of responsibilities is paid low.

Flag What is the difference between a certified letter and a registered letter? Answer by Isaacbro Confidence votes 482Certified letters travel with regular mail; you get a receipt \"\"certifying\"\" that you sent it, along with tracking which shows it has been delivered. If you also purchase the \"\"return receipt\"\" (the little green card they attach) you will not receive a physical article saying your item has been delivered. Most people get the \"\"return receipt\"\" at small additional cost. \"\" Return receipt\"\" isn't necessary unless you are unable to enter the tracking number online. \"\" Certified\"\" is cheaper than a \"\"registered letter\"\", which travels outside the regular mail flow, it is signed for and individually handled at every stop in the process. It therefore takes more time to be delivered and is more expensive. Because it is considered more secure, valuables are often sent \"\"registered\"\" rather than \"\"certified.\"\" If lost, there is a \"\"log book\"\" record of the travels of the registered letter (or package) at every stop, making recovery more likely."

"text": "The 4 Different Types Of Fiduciary Financial Advisors January 12, 2017 07:44 am 19 Comments CATEGORY: Planning Profession460Shares A A A460Shares Executive Summary While the looming Do L fiduciary rule has heightened consumer awareness of the concept of fiduciary duty, the reality is that being a “fiduciary” (or not) isn’t actually a singular concept. While conceptually, it’s about acting in the interests of the client, and honoring the fiduciary duties of loyalty and care, not all regulators define (nor enforce) those terms consistently. In this week’s #Office Hours with @Michael Kitces, my Tuesday 1PM EST broadcast via Periscope, I explore four different types of financial advisor fiduciaries, including RIAs that are SEC fiduciaries, Do L fiduciaries serving retirement investors, CFP fiduciaries providing financial planning, and voluntary fiduciaries who decide to step up to honor private/third-party fiduciary standards. One reason for varying fiduciary standards is the fact that different industry channels are regulated by different overseers – each of which defines fiduciary obligations in their own way. Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) are overseen by the SEC and state regulators, which have both adopted a disclosure and transparency oriented approach to fiduciary duty, but only to investment advice and investment management. While the Do L fiduciary rule impacts anyone giving advice on retirement accounts (and not taxable investment accounts), but is more stringent in its limitations on conflict of interest. And the CFP Board requires that certificants often adhere to a fiduciary duty, but the requirement depends on specifically whether the certificant is actually doing “finanical planning” for a client. And organizations with voluntary fiduciary standard for their advisor members – like NAPFA and the XY Planning Network – have their own definitions of when a fiduciary duty applies, and what conflicts are and aren’t permitted. In addition, RIAs who are struggling to differentiate as fiduciaries – now that Do L fiduciary will apply the rule to more advisors in the future – are looking to even more stringent versions of voluntary fiduciary rules, such as the new Fiduciary Registry from the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard, or CEFEX certification. The bottom line, though, is simply that there are many different definitions of fiduciary duties, and two advisors who are both “fiduciaries” might still have very different fiduciary obligations."

"text": "Are The Licensing And Other Requirements To Become A Financial Advisor Too Easy? August 24, 2015 07:01 am 31 Comments CATEGORY: Planning Profession118Shares A A A118Shares Executive Summary Virtually all financial advisors today follow one of three paths in becoming a financial advisor – either as a registered representative of a broker-dealer, an insurance agent with an insurance company, or an investment adviser representative of an RIA. And each path has its own licensing and exam requirements. Yet the sad commonality of all paths to becoming a financial advisor is that the actual exam and educational requirements to be an advisor are remarkably low. In fact, the licensing exams for financial advisors do little more than test basic product knowledge and awareness of the applicable state and Federal laws, and none require any substantive education in financial planning itself before holding out to the public as a comprehensive financial advisor who will guide consumers about how to manage their life savings!Given the roots of financial advising in the world of insurance and investment product sales, this isn’t entirely surprising. The licensing requirements to become a financial advisor, along with the suitability standard to which most advisors are subject, are built around the concept that “advisors” are really just product salespeople. And the bar to determine if someone is “capable” of selling a product isn’t very high. Ultimately, though, if financial advisors hope to actually be recognized as bona fide professionals, the requirements to become a financial advisor must become harder, and require actual education and experience to demonstrate competency as a financial advisor (not just compliance with the laws that apply to salespeople!). Otherwise, the reality is that even if a uniform fiduciary standard is implemented that requires all brokers and investment advisers to act in the best interests of their clients, consumers may still be harmed by advisor ignorance and the sheer lack of competency that would result from raising the fiduciary duty of loyalty but ignoring the equally important fiduciary duty of care – to only give advice in areas in which the professional is actually educated and trained to give advice in the first place!Financial Advisor License Requirements – How To Become A “Financial Advisor”Notwithstanding the popularity of the “financial advisor” job – now up to #25 on the list of “100 Best Jobs” from US News, with a projected jobs growth rate of 27% through 2022 from the Department of Labor – the reality is that the term “financial advisor” itself is largely unregulated. The requirements to become a financial advisor are not dictated by whether the person holds out to the public as a financial advisor, and there is no such thing as a standalone “financial advisor license”."

Helped an elderly parent afford medical care? The more financial challenges you've faced in your own life, the more empathy you should have with your clients as an advisor.

Sitting at my kitchen table in my apartment in the northern suburbs of New York City, I stare glumly at a shambles of textbooks, legal pads, and scrap paper covered with penciled financial scribblings. My HP 10BII financial calculator is still functioning even though I've been jabbing my finger into its keypad with growing forcefulness. Breaking it would give me real pleasure; they only cost $30. Patience is at a real premium right now. I'm studying the Income Tax section in my review for the Certified Financial Planner exam, less than eight weeks away, and I'm starting to feel a little out of my depth. Which method do I use to solve this question on business depreciation?"

Successful applicants earn the right to use the AAMS designation with their names for two years, which can improve job opportunities, professional reputation and pay. Next Up Chartered Financial Consultant ... Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU)Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor ... Certified Treasury Professional ... BREAKING DOWN 'Accredited Asset Management Specialist - AAMS'The AAMS program began in 1994 and is now taught exclusively online using the CFP's platform. The CFP is a provider of financial education for working adults in the financial services industry and the AAMS program consists of 12 modules, starting with a review of the asset management process, and then covering a broad range of topics, such as investments, insurance, taxation, retirement and estate planning issues. AAMS Recognition and Continuing Education The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) specifies that it does not approve or endorse any professional credential or designation, but it does list the AAMS as one of the available designations in the financial services industry. According to CFP, some organizations recognize the AAMS designation as representing 28 hours of continuing education credit. To keep the privileges associated with the designation, AAMS professionals must complete 16 hours of continuing education every two years and pay a fee. The AAMS continuing education program is developed in conjunction with some of the nation's top investment firms. Applicants explore case studies based on real-life scenarios, which are designed to prepare them for effectiveness in the real world and for building lasting relationships with clients. To inform the public about the current status of AAMS designees, the CFP maintains an online database containing the names of all members and the status of their designations."

However, while accountants do need to have solid math skills, the job is much more. Accounting today is a blend of analysis, problem solving and detective work; to do the job right you must be able to communicate effectively and deal with people, not just numbers. As such, the job's tasks are much more diverse than many people assume. Plus, demand for accountants and auditors is expected to grow by 18% between 2006 and 2016, which is considerably faster than the average for all occupations according to the U. S.

This has caused the biggest brokerage and investment advisory firms to take notice, even as their salaried advisers continue to manage some $13 trillion in client assets. Sponsored Listings Featured Programs: Capella University - Online Finance Degree Programs at the BS, MBA, DBA, and Ph D Levels The University of Scranton - Master of Science in Finance Georgetown University - Online Master of Science in Finance (MSF)A 2010 survey by TD Ameritrade published in the Wall Street Journal found that investment advisory firms are seeing a major increase in assets, with 70 percent having experienced growth in the six months leading up to the report. The survey revealed that 64 percent of new inflows were coming at the expense of larger broker dealers, often referred to as wirehouses. Not surprisingly, the survey showed that 77% of investment advisers expressed a high degree of satisfaction with their career. The industry as a whole has experienced explosive growth and, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is expected to see a 30% increase in the number of jobs over the next eight years as investment markets become trickier to navigate and consumers look to professionals for help with managing their investment portfolios. Investment Adviser Career Paths The most common path to becoming an independent investment advisor is to first work as an investment adviser representative (IAR) at another firm. Using this path, the advisor gains valuable experience working under a seasoned IA before joining the rapidly growing arena of independent advisory firms. After the IAR gains experience and builds a client base, they may elect to open their own practice. Advisers who go independent often continue to work with some or all of their existing clients in their newly formed firm."

Financial planners specialize in tax planning, asset allocation, risk management, retirement and/or estate planning. Next Up Fiduciary Personal Financial Advisor Investment Consultant Board Certified In Estate Planning ... BREAKING DOWN 'Financial Planner'A financial planner can be designated a Registered Financial Planner by the Registered Financial Planner Institute (RFPI). A financial planner can also carry the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation if he or she is compliant with the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards’ initial and ongoing requirements, which include examinations in financial topics like tax and estate planning. CFPs explicitly providing financial planning services to clients are fiduciaries. This means they are legally obligated to act in the client’s best interests and they can’t personally benefit from the management of client assets. They are expected to manage these assets for the client’s benefit rather than their own. Even though the Department of Labor (DOL)’s Conflict of Interest Final Rule is expected to meet its final compliance deadline by January 1, 2019, the rule still imposes a fiduciary standard on financial planners making recommendations for retirement plans including 401 (k)s and individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Fiduciary specifics can vary. For example, registered investment advisors ( RIA )s are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940."

Mar 08, 2012 by Everett from Poughkeepsie, NY in 401k Plans | Flag4 Answers | 4 Followers Follow Question10 votes John Maurice Negrete Level 11Being labeled a \"\"Highly Compensated Employee\"\" or HCE is a double-edged sword. It’s great that you're among the top earners at your firm, but now you are subject to certain limits when contributing to your 401 (k). You can find the definition of a HCE in the Internal Revenue Code Section 414 (q) (1) (B). And no, it isn’t specific to your company. To be considered an HCE for 2012, unless you or your family has ownership in the company, you will need to have earned at least $110,000 in 2011. This amount can be increased based on cost of living adjustments on an annual basis."

"text": "2015 Compensation Trends For Financial Advisory Salaries – Is The Advisor Talent Shortage Just A Mirage? October 26, 2015 07:01 am 3 Comments CATEGORY: Practice Management401Shares A A A401Shares Executive Summary In most financial advisory firms, compensation for employees is more than 3/4ths of a firm’s total expenditures. Which means trends in compensation can have a very significant impact on the profitability and success of an advisory firm business. And the urgency of advisory firms to control compensation have become acute in recent years, as a projected wave of advisors retiring and a dearth of young advisor talent suggests that advisor compensation will rapidly rise, squeezing the margins of most firms. Yet the latest industry benchmarking studies from Investment News and FA Insight find that, despite the fact that the headcount of financial advisors has already declined by 15% in the past 6 years, advisor compensation growth has remained remarkably sluggish, with little evidence whatsoever of an advisor talent shortage. Instead, the industry studies find that the largest advisory firms are competing for talent by paying healthy salaries, supported by incentive compensation that allows them to be flexible in a bear market, and using their offer of a career track as an incentive to attract the top young talent. In the meantime, the firms are paying very modest raises, counting on the top advisor talent to satisfy their hunger for financial success by climbing the firm’s career track ladder from support advisor to associate to lead advisor, and ultimately to partner. In fact, the lack of any apparent pressure on firms to raise compensation, despite what is already a declining advisor headcount, suggests that perhaps the reality is most of the current attrition of “financial advisors” are actually product-centric “non-advisors” who aren’t really delivering financial planning anyway. Similarly, the continued growth of CFP certificants – now up 54% in the past decade – may have actually been more than enough to satisfy the demand of firms for young talent as planning-centric firms slowly but steadily take market share. And with the average age of an employee lead advisor at planning-centric RIA firms “just” age 50, perhaps the reality is that the advisor talent shortage really is just a mirage – or at least, a danger that may not manifest for 10-15 years or more!?"

"title": "http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chargeoff.asp\nWhat is a 'Charge-Off'",
"text": "\"What is a 'Charge-Off'A charge-off is a debt, for example on a credit card, that is deemed unlikely to be collected by the creditor because the borrower has become substantially delinquent after a period of time. However, a charge-off does not mean a write-off of the debt entirely. Next Up Net Charge-Off Rate Collection Agency Charge-Off (Corporate Finance)Debt Buyer BREAKING DOWN 'Charge-Off'A charge-off usually occurs when the creditor has deemed an outstanding debt is uncollectible; this typically follows 180 days or six months of non-payment. In addition, debt payments that fall below the required minimum payment for the period will also be charged off if the debtor does not make up for the shortfall. The creditor crosses off the consumer’s debt as uncollectible and marks it on the consumer’s credit report as a charge-off. Effect of a Charge-Off on Credit Score The repercussions for having a charge-off on your credit report includes a fall in credit score and difficulty in getting approved for credit or obtaining credit at a decent interest rate in the future. Paying off or settling the overdue debt will not remove the charge-off status from the consumer’s credit report. Instead the status will be changed to “charge-off paid” or \"\"charge-off settled.” Either way, charge-offs remain on the credit report for seven years, and the affected party will either have to wait out the seven years or negotiate with the creditor to have it removed after paying off all the debt. In the latter case, if the inability to repay the debts on time was due to a temporary setback like job loss, the debtor could write to the lender detailing the issue with proof of a good payment history up to the time he lost his job."

If you fall into this trap, you could be tricked into paying money you don’t owe. Did you know that consumer debt that has been in default for more than six years is not collectible using any sort of lawsuit or legal process, and therefore should not be reported on your credit report? However, there is an important exception to that rule in the case where debt is owed as a result of a lawsuit judgment that was issued at some time within that six-year period. I’ll explain how this exception applies later in this article. Many Americans have several “out of statute” debts –debts that should not be listed as currently due on their Experian, Transunion or Equifax credit report. These debts are too old to be carried on the credit report. In these cases, you should write to the collection bureau that lists the debt and dispute the entry so that the debt no longer appears on your credit report from that credit reporting bureau. Q: How do bill collectors get away with this? A: Once a debt has been in default (unpaid) for six years, the statute of limitations to collect the debt has expired."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 1:14FAQ About How Your Credit Report Should Show Discharged Accounts After Completing a Chapter Seven Bankruptcy I am thinking about filing bankruptcy – what does a discharge mean? First, a discharge is where you no longer owe the debts that are included in bankruptcy. The creditor cannot ever try and collect the debt from you. You can imagine a wall has come up between you and the creditor and the creditor cannot climb over, around, or under the wall to get to you in order to get you to pay this “discharged” debt. OK, once I get a discharge, what does this mean for my credit reports? Assuming the creditor (or collection agency) received notice of the bankruptcy, then the creditor must show the account (or tradeline) on your reports as having a zero balance and “included in bankruptcy” or “discharged in bankruptcy”. Do creditors and collectors always follow this law? No. In fact some reports indicate approximately 70% of discharged accounts are being reported falsely by the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union) and the creditors or the collectors."

UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and Trans Union to remove a Charge-Off from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have \"\"verifiable proof\"\" of the \"\"Charge-Off\"\" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any \"\"verifiable proof\"\" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The original creditor may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the \"\"verifiable proof\"\" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file."

"text": "\"How Late Payments Really Affect Your Credit Score Rob Berger June 25, 2017Advertising Disclosure L ate payments can happen to the best of us. Sometimes we pay a bill late due to oversight. Other times a shortage of cash is the culprit. How late your payments are and how often they occur affect your credit score. How perfect your score is otherwise, and a host of other factors also play into how much a late payment (or multiple late payments) will affect your credit score. Just how will a late payment affect your credit score? I’ve broken that question into several more specific, commonly asked questions. Here’s what you need to know: What Counts as a Late Payment? First of all, it’s important to know that getting charged a late fee by a lender or utility doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get a late payment report on your credit record. Lenders often charge late fees when you miss a payment by even one day."

By Paul Murphy This article is by Paul Murphy, our VP and financial literacy expert with 15+ years of investment and banking industry experience. If you’ve ever floated a balance on a credit card, you’ve likely asked yourself: how does credit card interest work in Canada? The basics seem simple. You borrow money from the credit card company.

What’s the difference? Plenty. For one thing, it’s fraud. In each of the cases, the consumer called Capital One who confirmed they did not own the debt any more and had “assigned” the debt to Law Firm X. This changes the rules of the game in court significantly. If the Plaintiff in a lawsuit is a third party (not the original creditor), basically everything they say in court can be ruled as hearsay. Why hearsay? The debt collector was not present when the debt was being formed and cannot give first-hand testify to the veracity of the debt, payments made or processed. Think about all the cases you’ve seen on Law and Order on TV."

What about the debt? Once it comes off your credit report, do you still owe it? Credit Reporting Confusion A common misconception exists that credit card debt you owe disappears after seven years when it disappears off of your credit report. In reality, credit card debt you left unpaid does not go away. However, a creditor has a limited time in which to sue you for the debt, called the statute of limitations. More about the statute of limitations later in this post. Who Owns Your Delinquent Debt After 7 Years? It’s unlikely that your original credit card company still owns your debt after seven years."

"text": "\"Loading the player...\"\" Impairment charge\"\" is a relatively new term for writing off worthless goodwill. These charges started making headlines in 2002 as companies adopted new accounting rules and disclosed huge goodwill write-offs (for example, AOL – $54 billion, SBC – $1.8 billion, and Mc Donald's – $99 million) to resolve the misallocation of assets that occurred during the dotcom bubble (1995-2000). They again became prevalent during the Great Recession, as the weak economy and faltering stock market forced more goodwill charge-offs and increase concerns about corporate balance sheets. This article will define the impairment charge and look at its good, bad and ugly effects. Impairment Defined As with most generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the definition of \"\"impairment\"\" is in the eye of the beholder. The regulations are complex, but the fundamentals are relatively easy to understand. Under the new rules, all goodwill is to be assigned to the company's reporting units that are expected to benefit from that goodwill. Then the goodwill must be tested (at least annually) to determine if the recorded value of the goodwill is greater than the fair value. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, the goodwill is deemed \"\"impaired\"\" and must be charged off. This charge reduces the value of goodwill to the fair market value and represents a \"\" mark-to-market \"\" charge."

"text": "Does Charged-off Debt Impact My Credit? Posted October 14, 2014Once debt is charged-off, it’s understood to have a different status from regular debt. But how, exactly? That doesn’t mean, for example, that the debt is no longer owed. A charge-off doesn’t mean that debt will disappear from your credit report automatically, either. However, once a debt legitimately drops off your report after reaching the end of its lifespan, it’s considered to be expired, and won’t show as a part of your credit report or be calculated in your credit score. Understanding Charge-Offs A charge-off is what happens when the creditor you owe chooses to write off your account and close it for the future. So when you have an account that’s been “charged-off,” you still owe that debt even though the account is closed. It doesn’t wipe out your debt; only you can resolve the debt when you pay it off. The creditor can choose to transfer your debt to its collection department, or to a third-party collection agency who will try to collect what it can from you."

Amongst the worst hit were the credit industry… the impact was definitely felt as the number of charge-offs reached unprecedented levels. In fact, the credit card charge off rate in the month of February 2009 (during the climax of the recession) represented an all-time high in Moody’s Credit Card Index’s twenty year history. ( as of Nov. 2011 the charge off rate was 5.81%)What Are Credit Card Charge-Offs? So, what are credit card charge-offs and why do you need to worry about them? Credit card companies charge-off accounts that have been late in their payments for over 6 months. Believe it or not, a small percentage of the population thinks that a charge-off is equivalent to canceling the balance. They believe that since the card issuer has charged-off the debt, they are not obligated to pay it anymore and that they can simply walk away from their debt (if only it were that easy).

In the most basic terms a charged off account is one where a creditor has declared that you will not pay the debt and so they have written the debt off as a loss. The bad news is although they have written it off as a loss, you are still liable to pay the debt. It is one of the most damaging items on a credit report that can negatively affect your credit score. Lenders are required by law to report charge off accounts and it allows them to close out the accounts for accounting reasons. The good news is that you can remove a charged off account but you will need help from a good law firm that can help you settle and clean up your credit report. This option isn’t free but makes the most sense when you weigh that against the possibility of how much you will be losing if a charge off account stays on your credit report for 7 years.

I have seen some of the worse cooling system cases imaginable and have been able to work out some flushing ideas and techniques. It is my hope that I can share some of these ideas with you and that you can also experience the same measure of success that I have when dealing with contaminated cooling systems. Whether it be electrolysis, oil, rust, dex-cool mud, silicate drop out, aluminum oxide or iron oxide, these problems can be cleaned up, treated, and restored in most cases. The following is a list of some of the more popular flushing ideas. Some of them have been around for awhile, some are fast, some are quite messy, and some are targeted for very specific problems, using common sense and basic physics to reverse problems that have developed over a long period of time. Each flushing technique has advantages and disadvantages over others. For the purposes of this website, the terms Coolant and Anti-freeze are used interchangeably, and have the same meaning. The Water Flush Good only for routine maintenance, the water flush is really only a rinse, and might be better called a Water Rinse. It is simple basic step that is good when changing spent coolant."

Jobs & Education Jan 23, 2014 0 2693By creating new directions for making computer hardware faster, smaller, and more effective, computer engineers are on the frontline of the rapid advances in the growing technology industry. With a firm understanding on the body and mind of hardware, computer engineers are responsible for researching, designing, developing, and testing computer systems for solving various computer-related problems. Daily Duties for Computer Engineers: Building computer network systems for the efficient transfer of data Creating blueprints on how new computer hardware or equipment should be built Conducting tests to assess the completed computer models they have designed Analyzing test results to make modifications to design plans when necessary Updating current computer equipment to be more compatible with new software Supervising the manufacturing process for computer hardware Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of the latest technological trends Computer Engineer Job Description What do computer engineers do? In most cases, computer engineers can find employment within financial services, computer manufacturers, chemical companies, defense contractors, technical consulting, electronic manufacturing, and research services. Computer engineers usually can be found fulfilling their duties in high-tech manufacturing firms or research laboratories that build various types of computer models. Computer engineers have the option of moving into hardware or software positions as well as an equal blend of the two. Although the majority of computer engineers work full-time schedules, around one-third are required to work more than 40 hours per week with irregular hours outside the normal workday to meet tight design deadlines. In order to ensure that computer hardware components are properly working together with the latest software developments, it is often necessary for computer engineers to work with software developers during their workday. Skills Needed to Be a Computer Engineer Due to the complexity of working daily with computer hardware and software systems, it is normally required that computer engineers possess at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited computer engineering or computer science program."

Measuring the Quantity of Heat Calorimeters and Calorimetry Lesson 1 of this chapter focused on the meaning of temperature and heat. Emphasis was given to the development of a particle model of matter that is capable of explaining the macroscopic observations. Efforts have been made to develop solid conceptual understandings of the topic in the absence of mathematical formulas. We learned that heat flows from one object to another (between the system and the surroundings) when a temperature difference exists between system and surroundings. Now in this unit we will investigate the topic of measuring the quantity of heat that is transferred between the system and the surroundings. This lesson is devoted to calorimetry - the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings. Before we can understand the mathematics of calorimetry, we should answer a critical question that was at least in part addressed in Lesson 1."

Information on particulates can be found here. Q. What does the term NOx mean? A. It refers to nitrogen oxides. The purists would say that it refers to nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) only, but most also include nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in this description. There are some other variants, but their concentrations in the atmosphere are too low. Q. Why are NOx gases produced? A. There are three main causes of NOx emissions:-High temperature combustion of fuels where the temperature is hot enough (above about 1300°C/ 2370°F) to oxidise some of the nitrogen in air to NOx gases. This includes burning hydrogen, as it burns at a very high temperature. Comments on diesel engines are shown below."

Eng. · Author has 71 answers and 253.3k answer views From my undergraduate experience at Stanford, studying chemical engineering has been about building a broad foundation of engineering knowledge for postgraduate education or a career in a wide range of scientific fields--from oil and energy, to pharmaceutics and biotechnology, to (what I'm interested in) semiconductors and electronics development. The chemical engineering major has a lot requirements, and that makes sense because there is a lot to cover. At the fundamentals, the student must have a solid understanding of chemistry (duh), mathematics, physics, and to a lesser extent, biology. These requisites can take a large chunk of the schedule, and requires the student to plan well. At the next level, the student is exposed to courses dealing with thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, especially those pertaining to chemical reactor design. This is where the distinction is made in the meaning of chemical engineering, because the focus will be on understanding, modeling, and designing reaction vessels and controls more than the chemical reactions themselves. Finally, there will either be supplemental or elective courses in topics such as biochemistry, electronics, environmental science, and/or polymers. This is a time when students can explore their own interests and branch out from all the (basically same) courses they've taken as a class in the past few years. Ultimately, there is a lot of commitment in the major, unit-wise."

As a natural consequence, many mathematical and engineering ideas are being pushed out of Chem E. This change might excite some students and make others bitter. In any case, if you have a mathematical and engineering bent of mind, the current version of Chem E as taught in most universities is a bad choice. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, and I disagree with Christopher Van Lang. Now is a very bad time to pursue Chemical Engineering. [ ca 2015]I can say this with great confidence from an Indian perspective, but I think it generalizes very well to USA and Europe. Canada seems to be an exception, but it is getting worse there too!Chem E is becoming more and more \"\"science\"\"Chem E has been greatly impacted by biology and nanosicence, reflected by renaming of departments to Chem. and Biological Engineering. It tries very hard to be an approximation of a bio-engineering or chemistry degree that you might be better served by bypassing Chem E and joining the appropriate department. The *engineering* part has lost its significance."

"text": "History of Forensic Psychology In these early years of the 21st century, forensic psychology remains a young branch of applied psychology, having been recognized by the APA as a specialty in 2001 and recertified in 2008. Even before that, in 1991, Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists (Committee on Ethical Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists [hereafter Committee], 1991) were adopted by the American Psychology-Law Society, which is Division 41 of the APA. These Guidelines were recently revised, renamed Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychology (APA, 2013), and accepted by the APA Council of Representatives. Interestingly, although forensic psychology was initially viewed as primarily clinical in nature—such as by providing assessments to the courts—its scope has broadened to encompass the practice of psychology as it provides expertise to the law in a very wide range of contexts (see APA, 2013; Committee, 1991). This broad view of forensic psychology was not always supported. According to Ronald Roesch, for example (cited in Brigham, 1999, p. 279), “Most psychologists define the area more narrowly to refer to clinical psychologists who are engaged in clinical practice within the legal system.” A few years later, Brigham and Grisso (2003) modified this somewhat, noting “Many psychologists define forensic psychology more narrowly to refer to clinical psychologists who are engaged in clinical practice within the legal system. The distinction here is between psychologists who bring scientific information to the courts for their consideration in cases and psychologists who evaluate individuals and testify about them in reference to a legal question” (p. 392, emphasis added). In recognizing forensic psychology as a specialty in 2001, the APA itself adopted the narrow approach, to include “the primarily clinical aspects of forensic assessment, treatment, and consultation” (Otto & Heilbrun, 2002, p. 8). However, as noted, the Specialty Guidelines take a broader view."

They also eat seeds of conifers, goldenrod, ragweed, and wild fruit. Black-capped Chickadees are not very picky at the feeder and will eat cornmeal, sunflower seeds, suet, pumpkin seeds, and peanut butter. Black-capped Chickadees prefer to live in mixed hardwood-coniferous forests. They also reside in small woodlands and shrubs by residential areas. Both the male and female have similar plumage. Black-capped Chickadees have light gray backs and tails. They also have white bellies and cheeks. They got the name \"\"Black-capped Chickadee\"\" because they have some black feathers on their heads that look like a cap. Black-capped Chickadees also have some black feathers on their necks that look similar to a bib."

"text": "\"Metabolism The physical and chemical processes that maintain a bird's life are called, collectively, its \"\"metabolism.\"\" A flow of energy is required to run the metabolism of any organism, and the basic energy source for all birds is the sun. Green plants \"\"capture\"\" the sun's energy in the process of photosynthesis, and birds then acquire it by eating plants or by eating other animals that eat plants. The energy is used to do the work of building tissues, contracting muscles, manufacturing eggs, processing information in the brain, and powering all the other activities of a living bird. The entire metabolic process is run by biological catalysts known as enzymes. They are long, chain-like protein molecules that are twisted into characteristic three-dimensional shapes. Enzyme molecules function rather like templates to hold reacting molecules together in the proper position to speed their interactions. If your enzymes lose their shape (\"\"denature\"\"), they stop functioning, your metabolism ceases, and you're dead. Birds are no different. That's why boiling kills; it denatures enzymes."

One of the best-known formations is the area known as the Monument Rocks, sometimes referred to as the Chalk Pyramids, and officially recognized by the National Park Service as a National Natural Landmark. In addition to the unusual geology, the area also offers some interesting habitat for wildlife. Small holes in the formations provide nesting cavities for our smallest falcon, the American kestrel. Pigeons also fly from ledge to ledge as they commonly do in most cities. Here we gain an understanding of this introduced bird's natural habitat in Europe and why they are also called rock doves. Pronghorns inhabit the surrounding shortgrass prairie. Although they are large mammals, their colors make them surprisingly difficult to see. Also in the area are coyotes, black-tailed jackrabbits, lesser earless lizards, and the venomous western rattlesnake. Birders find Cassin's sparrows, ferruginous hawks, and golden eagles of special interest."

"text": "What is a Titmouse? September 18, 2012 Mike Birds 47 Comments Few American birds have the publicity problems of the titmouse. Even though they are numerous, if not downright gregarious throughout most of their range, despite the fact that the Tufted Titmouse is consistently one of the top ten most frequently reported species in the Great Backyard Bird Count, titmice lack the popularity of other common birds like cardinals, jays, doves, crows, or even their close cousins, chickadees. Why is this adorable, doll-eyed songbird so often ignored? Tufted Titmouse by Mike Bergin Perhaps it has to do with the name. A bird in the genus Baeolophus is neither a mouse nor…the other thing. The word titmouse descends from the Old English terms, tit (any small animal or object) and mase (small bird), essentially meaning one small, small bird. Though there is nothing inherently prurient about this critter’s cognomen, it’s within the realm of possibility that even the mere utterance of it inspires twittering and naughty feelings in some individuals, and is thus best avoided. It is worth pointing out that titmice belong to the family Paridae, an expansive international clan made up primarily of what we call “chickadees” in the states but are known as “tits” in the Old World. What do you expect of those decadent, debauched Europeans?"

Family Chickadees and Titmice Habitat Woodlands, shade trees, groves. Mostly in deciduous forest with tall trees, sometimes in mixed forest. Can live in orchards, suburbs, or even city parks if trees are large enough. This rather tame, active, crested little bird is common all year in eastern forests, where its whistled peter-peter-peter song may be heard even during mid-winter thaws. It is related to the chickadees, and like them it readily comes to bird feeders, often carrying away sunflower seeds one at a time. Feeders may be helping it to expand its range: in recent decades, Tufted Titmice have been steadily pushing north. Photo Gallery Feeding Behavior Forages by hopping actively among branches and twigs of trees, often hanging upside down, sometimes hovering momentarily. Often drops to the ground for food as well. Comes to bird feeders for seeds or suet."

Hand-taming Wild Birds ... Helping Wild Bird Chicks Feeders: Bird feeders or fruit-bearing trees or shrub, bird baths, nest boxes or other nesting opportunities will result in an enjoyable atmosphere in your garden that is filled with foraging and singing birds. As an added benefit, many birds will also eat insects (particularly when breeding) - so they will help keep bugs down as well. In winter, shortages of seeds, berries and insects - particularly during severe weather conditions - make foraging particularly difficult. At this time, your contributions of food and roosting opportunities may be their sole source of energy (food) and warmth (nest boxes used for roosting / protection from icy, strong winds. ) Of course, a wide range of bird feeders are available in shops, but for those who are willing to put in the effort - suitable bird feeders or bird feeding areas can easily be put together without costing you anything (or only very little). In fact, anybody can easily make bird feeder themselves. Please scroll down or make your own bird feeder. It's a fun project that the kids will enjoy. To minimize aggression and territorial behavior, it is best to provide widely spaced feeders. Bird Feeding Tips Dog Food: Large birds eat dog food, a cheaper alternative to seed."

"text": "Cardinals Chickadees are commonly found dining on safflower seeds in backyards throughout Eastern America. Native to India and Iran, this flower also grows well in North America. Many birdwatching enthusiasts cultivate safflower for its seeds, which are an excellent food source for many American songbirds. Safflower seeds are also available for purchase at quality birding supply stores. These seeds are well adapted for any bird feeder recommended for sunflower seeds. Safflower feeding attracts many songbirds, but larger, aggressive birds and squirrels generally avoid the seeds. . The Northern Cardinal is perhaps one of the most recognizable birds in the Eastern United States. This large songbird is often identified by the bright red coat of the adult male; females feature brown coats but have red accents. The cardinal typically does not migrate, according to the Cornell Lab of Orinthology's All About Birds website. The cardinal's ack of migration makes it especially important for homeowners to provide adequate food throughout the winter."

Gleaning is a feeding strategy by birds in which they catch invertebrate prey, mainly arthropods, by plucking them from foliage or the ground, from crevices such as rock faces and under the eaves of houses, or even, as in the case of ticks and lice, from living animals. This behavior is contrasted with hawking insects from the air or chasing after moving insects such as ants. Gleaning, in birds, does not refer to foraging for seeds or fruit. Gleaning is a common feeding strategy for some groups of birds, including nuthatches, tits (including chickadees), wrens, woodcreepers, treecreepers, Old World flycatchers, Tyrant flycatchers, babblers, Old World warblers, New World warblers, Vireos and some hummingbirds and cuckoos.

Carolina Chickadee usually lay 6 eggs that hatch in about 11-12 days. Babies fledge when they are about 13-17 days old. Boreal Chickadee lay 4-9 eggs that hatch in about 11-15 days. Babies fledge when they are about 18 days old. Baby birds are not flying right away when they fledge. They leave the nest several days before they can fly. They need to hop around on the ground and climb low branches until their wings strengthen enough for flight."

By George Harrison There are few bird-watching experiences more rewarding than setting up a birdhouse and having a pair of birds select it as their home to raise young. Not all backyard birds use houses, including many popular species like cardinals, orioles and goldfinches. But enough common birds do nest in birdhouses to make it worthwhile to set up a few to see what happens. About 30 bird species in each region of the country are so-called cavity nesters, which means that most of them will also use a birdhouse. Bluebirds, purple martins, house wrens, chickadees, tree swallows and house sparrows are the most common occupants. Attracting birds like wood ducks, screech-owls, woodpeckers, titmice and nuthatches may also be possible. But setting up a successful birdhouse isn’t as simple as “build it and they will come.” There are several key factors to consider that will give you the best chance to attract nesting birds."

And don't be concerned about creating a hardship for birds should you decide to take a hiatus from bird feeding. Backyard bird feeders account for a relatively small percent of a bird's overall food supply, which is why when traditional food is available (i.e., worms, insects, seeds, berries, etc), birds will often opt for that instead. Sunflower Seeds What: There are 2 types of sunflower seeds usually used to feed birds: black oil sunflower seed and black striped sunflower seed. The black oil sunflower seed has a soft shell and a large oily meat inside, thus making it an energy-rich food source. Black striped sunflower seed is larger with a tougher shell, and is usually eaten only when black oil sunflower seed is unavailable. Sunflower seed is also commercially available already hulled (with the shell removed). Which Birds: Songbirds such as chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, finches, and jays universally prefer black oil sunflower seed."

"text": "The chief audit executive is an independent auditor hired by an organization to inspect and make observations on all aspects of its business operations. This executive works in conjunction with the management of a company and makes suggestions to improve the business. Two main responsibilities of the chief audit executive are improving business efficiency while managing risk and maintaining internal controls in terms of accurate financial reporting and proper legal compliance. It is important that this executive stay objective despite his relationship as a hired employee of the organization he serves. Corporate transparency is the goal of many organizations, considering they wish to seem trustworthy to both customers and investors. Ideally, this function should come as a direct result of the efforts of the management of a specific company, a group of people who work every day to assure that high standards are being kept. Most businesses require a second set of eyes to watch out for problems or issues that the management team might be overlooking. For that reason, a company will open up its operations to the oversight of a chief audit executive (CAE). Ad Based on the title of the job alone, it is obvious that a chief audit executive will have an impact on the financial reporting of the company. The CAE can spot accounting practices that may fall into shady territory and could raise red flags for tax officials."

Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, our investor protection mission is more compelling than ever. As our nation's securities exchanges mature into global for-profit competitors, there is even greater need for sound market regulation. And the common interest of all Americans in a growing economy that produces jobs, improves our standard of living, and protects the value of our savings means that all of the SEC's actions must be taken with an eye toward promoting the capital formation that is necessary to sustain economic growth. The world of investing is fascinating and complex, and it can be very fruitful. But unlike the banking world, where deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can lose value. There are no guarantees. That's why investing is not a spectator sport. By far the best way for investors to protect the money they put into the securities markets is to do research and ask questions. The laws and rules that govern the securities industry in the United States derive from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it, and so long as they hold it."

"title": "https://hbr.org/1979/01/the-foreign-corrupt-practices-act\nThe Foreign Corrupt Practices Act",
"text": "For the first 40-plus years of their existence, the federal securities laws did not require or prohibit specific managerial practices in the operation of business, other than a business in one of a handful of closely regulated industries. But with the passage of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the SEC is equipped to tighten the noose of responsibilities and liabilities on corporate directors, officers, and managers. In this article, the author explains the provisions of the new act, as well as what the SEC’s enforcement staff is likely to assert they mean. The responsibilities—and corresponding liabilities—of corporate officers, directors, and managers under the federal securities laws were greatly increased by the passage of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. The lack of attention by businessmen to the new law may be because of its title, which incorrectly implies that it deals only with improper business practices overseas. While the law does prohibit bribing foreign officials and politicians, not all of the practices dealt with are “corrupt,” nor are all of them foreign. Indeed, the most important provisions of the act are those equally applicable to the domestic operations of all companies that report to the SEC. Like the antifraud sections of the securities laws, the act is short and deceptively straightforward. The key provision is one that simply states that every reporting company shall:“…make and keep books, records, and accounts, which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer. ”It is only when one considers the probable applications and consequences of the new law in light of past SEC enforcement policies and practices that one begins to understand why certain commentators in the legal and accounting professions have viewed the act as the most significant expansion of the securities laws since their passage in the New Deal era."

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s announcement signaled it might need tens of billions of new dollars to rescue traditional pensions paid by U. S. firms whose economic collapse left them unable to meet their retirement obligations to workers. At the same time, however, the federally chartered corporation was receiving some bad news of its own: for the first time it was going to flunk an independent audit of the way it manages its finances. On Nov. 12, 2009, PBGC’s outside audit firm and the corporation’s own internal watchdog jointly informed the federal body it was being cited for a “material weakness” in its internal financial controls, the accounting equivalent of an F grade. “PBGC did not have effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and compliance with laws and regulations and its operations,” Inspector General Rebecca Anne Batts wrote in a letter that has escaped public attention despite their potential importance to taxpayers. Americans may expect such adverse audit findings for corporate bad actors, but the finding is more unusual for a government agency, especially one charged with cleaning up failed companies’ messes and rescuing workers’ pensions. A Center for Public Integrity review of hundreds of pages of memos, audits and internal reports shows the pension guaranty corporation has been unable to make several guarantees about its own work — in some cases directly misleading Congress and its inspector general into believing long-simmering problems were resolved. Inspector General Rebecca Anne Batts“Providing false information to OIG or Congress can be a criminal violation,” an angry Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, warned in a letter March 31 that was provided to the Center. The letter chided the corporation for its “apparent dishonesty” in erroneously reporting it had implemented solutions to past problems. Created in 1974, PBGC is essentially the government’s insurance program for retirees, protecting the pensions of approximately 44 million workers and retirees in more than 29,000 private defined benefit pension plans that promise a fixed monthly payment to retirees for life."

Cooper, Interim CEO and CRODivisions Enron Energy Services Website enron.com The Enron scandal, publicized in October 2001, eventually led to the bankruptcy of the Enron Corporation, an American energy company based in Houston, Texas, and the de facto dissolution of Arthur Andersen, which was one of the five largest audit and accountancy partnerships in the world. In addition to being the largest bankruptcy reorganization in American history at that time, Enron was cited as the biggest audit failure. [ 1]Enron was formed in 1985 by Kenneth Lay after merging Houston Natural Gas and Inter North. Several years later, when Jeffrey Skilling was hired, he developed a staff of executives that – by the use of accounting loopholes, special purpose entities, and poor financial reporting – were able to hide billions of dollars in debt from failed deals and projects. Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow and other executives not only misled Enron's Board of Directors and Audit Committee on high-risk accounting practices, but also pressured Arthur Andersen to ignore the issues. Enron shareholders filed a $40 billion lawsuit after the company's stock price, which achieved a high of US$ 90.75 per share in mid-2000, plummeted to less than $1 by the end of November 2001. [ 2] The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began an investigation, and rival Houston competitor Dynegy offered to purchase the company at a very low price. The deal failed, and on December 2, 2001, Enron filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Enron's $63.4 billion in assets made it the largest corporate bankruptcy in U. S. history until World Com 's bankruptcy the next year.

"text": "Background The Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) of 2002, as amended by the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA) of 2010 and the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012, requires agencies to periodically review all programs and activities and identify those that may be susceptible to significant improper payments, take multiple actions when programs and activities are identified as susceptible to significant improper payments, and annually report information on their improper payments monitoring and minimization efforts. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Circular A-123, Management’s Responsibility for Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Control, Appendix C, Requirements for Effective Measurement and Remediation of Improper Payments, defines an improper payment (1) and provides guidance to agencies to comply with IPIA, as amended, and for agency improper payments efforts. The Department of Commerce (Department) has not itself identified any programs or activities susceptible to significant improper payments. On January 29, 2013, the President signed into law the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (Act), which provides a total of $50.5 billion government-wide in aid for Hurricane Sandy disaster victims and their communities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) received $326 million of funds under the Act for Hurricane Sandy recovery and other disaster-related activities. Pursuant to OMB Memorandum M-13-07, Accountability for Funds Provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (March 12, 2013), the Department in March 2013 submitted its final plan for accountability, internal controls, and other requirements for funds provided to NOAA that are deemed by OMB as susceptible to significant improper payments for the purposes of requirements under IPIA of 2002, as amended, and is required to calculate and report an annual improper payments estimate. Executive Order 13520, Reducing Improper Payments and Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs, was issued on November 20, 2009, to help federal agencies reduce and prevent improper payments through increased transparency and improved agency accountability. The Executive Order requires that, along with other requirements, federal agencies with high-priority or risk-susceptible programs (for purposes of improper payments) name accountable officers for improper payments; monitor any such programs; establish goals for reducing improper payments; and report high-dollar improper payments. The Department established, as required, a prominently displayed link on its home page to internet-based resources on addressing improper payments, and also provides on this web page a web link to the U. S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) improper payments web site (see Payment Accuracy.gov website information discussed on this web page). The Department does not have any programs/activities that OMB has determined to be a “high-priority” program with regard to improper payments under Executive Order 13520."

Overview of the Process Phases of the Budget Process Phase 1: Budget Formulation Phase 2: Budget Presentation and the Congressional Process Phase 3: Budget Execution Phase 4: Audit and Evaluation What Is the Budget? The budget is a detailed statement of anticipated revenues and expenditures during an accounting period. The Federal budget sets forth priorities and levels of spending, ways of financing the spending and a plan for managing the funds. Each year, the budget includes a record of actual receipts and spending for the fiscal year that was just completed, an estimate of current-year receipts and spending, and estimates of receipts and spending for the upcoming fiscal year and the 9 succeeding fiscal years. For the Federal Government, the term “budget” often refers to the President’s budget submission, officially, the Budget of the United States Government. The President’s budget is submitted to Congress early each calendar year in accordance with the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as amended, and represents proposals for congressional consideration. The Federal budget process provides the means for the executive and legislative branch to make informed decisions between competing national needs and policies, to determine priorities, to allocate resources to those priorities, and to ensure the laws are executed according to those priorities. The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as amended, requires the President to submit an annual budget proposal to Congress, established the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) (formerly, the General Accounting Office). In 1974, Congress enacted the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act, which provides for the annual adoption of a budget resolution and established the House and Senate Budget Committees and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)."

From poring over financial statements and expense reports to ensuring compliance with government regulations, auditing offers a wide variety of potential career opportunities. Read on to see if you have what it takes to succeed in this in-demand career. ( To read more about how individuals deal with audits, read Avoiding An Audit and Surviving The IRS Audit . ) What Are an Auditor's Responsibilities? Auditing is a complex career, involving many different job responsibilities: Auditing involves the review, analysis and evaluation of processes, products, services, systems, organizations and employees. Auditors assess the accuracy, validity, reliability, verifiability and timeliness of organizational information, as well as the sources and processes by which that information is produced. This is an important role, because management and external parties thereby obtain an accurate assessment of the organization under their stewardship. Auditors also inspect an organization's internal controls and the extent to which these controls manage an organization's risk exposures. Internal controls help prevent the theft of a company's assets and, if properly designed and executed, prevent data manipulation by employees."

The email that ruined Tony Menendez’s life arrived on a warm and sunny February afternoon in 2006. Menendez is, by nature, precise and logical, but his first instinct was somewhat irrational. He got up to close the door to his office, as if that might somehow keep the message from speeding across cyberspace. Then he sat down at his desk to puzzle out what had just happened. The email was sent by Mark Mc Collum, Halliburton’s chief accounting officer, and a top-ranking executive at Halliburton, where Menendez worked. It was addressed to much of the accounting department. “ The SEC has opened an inquiry into the allegations of Mr. Menendez,” it read. Everyone was to retain their documents until further notice."

Increasingly, audit committees — whose job includes protecting the independence of internal auditors — are hearing that the answer to that question is no. The majority of public companies’ top internal auditors split their reporting duties between the audit committee and the CFO, with their strategy and functionality falling under the committee’s purview and their administrative duties falling under the finance chief’s. While having direct access to the CFO exposes the head auditor to a company’s financial reporting process, it also can undermine that auditor’s independence, according to Moody’s Investors Service’s recently released best practices for audit committees’ oversight of internal auditors. Recommended Stories: For Auditors’ Eyes Only Can You Spot the Finance Expert? Auditing (Internal) Auditors“It creates a potential conflict if the internal auditors report directly to the CFO,” says Dave Richards, president of the Institute of Internal Auditors and a member of the city of Orlando’s audit committee. Moody’s recommends that the audit chief’s dual reporting relationship include the CEO, rather than the CFO, in order to empower the audit team and make it clear to the rest of the company that senior management considers the audit function a high priority. This, of course, leaves audit executives still with the tough job of reporting to two bosses, one of whom reports to work only about six times a year during audit-committee meetings."

However, although directors know that they need to stay informed about cybersecurity, keeping up with it in the complex, rapidly evolving world of IT is often a challenge.

Related Content Board Governance Trends: A Global View CES 2016: Five Key Trends and What They Mean for Leaders Redefining Security Leadership in a Riskier World In response to boards’ growing concern about how to approach cybersecurity, Spencer Stuart and Morrison & Foerster convened a panel to frame the board’s role in overseeing cybersecurity risk and to help identify key questions directors should be asking — both of themselves and management. The discussion featured Timothy Campos, chief information officer of Facebook and board member of JDS Uniphase; Malcolm K. Palmore, assistant special agent in charge, FBI San Francisco Office Cyber Program; and Steven West, board member, Cisco Systems (audit committee chair) and Autodesk. This article highlights learnings on the board’s role in overseeing cyber risk and what they can do to protect their organizations from cyber threats. The Risk Is Real Organizations of all kinds are regularly targeted for cyberattack, and the media report a seemingly never-ending series of breaches. In June 2015, the U. S. Office of Personnel Management disclosed it had been hacked, comprising one of the largest breaches of federal employee data in recent years with roughly 18 million current and former federal employees’ personal data potentially at risk of being compromised. The highly publicized breaches of Target Corp. and Neiman Marcus — in which the credit cards and addresses of more than 70 million customers combined were compromised — was part of a long list of major attacks in 2014. “ Cyber threats are very active and growing."

Published5 years agoon Dec 16, 2012By Lie Dharma Putra Audit committee, in the real corporate world, has been existed for long time and the perception of its roles and responsibilities are evolved time-by-time. This post aims to highlight roles and responsibilities of audit committee in the past and recent years. There were varied views on audit committee’s roles and responsibility in the United States and European Union—which then followed by the rest of the countries—before 2000s, but a certain consensus has emerged in recent years following the promotion of audit committee function in corporate governance by market regulators and professional bodies. Advertisement What is Audit Committee? In short words, audit committee can be described as a group of minimum 3 persons who oversee quality and integrity of the company’s accounting and reporting practices. Searching offline and online auditing literature, one may find various descriptions about audit committee. A common term consistently appeared among the descriptions is the “ oversight responsibility .” Because of this oversight responsibility, audit committee members must be independent with no connection to company management. Therefore, in longer words, an audit committee can be described as a group of minimum 3 independent directors with no connection to the company management, which are an operating component of the board of directors, with responsibility for internal controls and financial reporting oversight."

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Chief Investment Officer - CIO'A chief investment officer is an executive position responsible for managing a company's investment portfolios. The chief investment officer (CIO) usually oversees a team of professionals who have responsibilities such as managing and monitoring investment activity, managing pensions, working with external analysts and maintaining good investor relations. They will also develop short-term and long-term investment policies. Next Up Executive Director Front Office Investment Management Board of Trustees BREAKING DOWN 'Chief Investment Officer - CIO'For example, a CIO could be responsible for the investment activities of a university's endowment. They would report to the trustees, develop a strategic asset-allocation plan and make recommendations on investments or use of outside money managers. The role of the CIO is often combined with other areas of finance within a company and taken on by the chief financial officer (CFO). The corporate title CFO is seen much more often than the CIO. The duties of a chief investment officer may often include deciding what feasible amount of an organization’s operating funds may be put towards investment activity with limited overall risk to the organization. This typically includes tailoring and making changes to the portfolio of the company’s investments in order to create a desirable balance between risks and return on those investments. The investment activity, if managed properly, should not introduce a threat to the liquidity of the organization or its ability regularly support its operations."

Christine Crandell - March 19, 2015 53,473 views Tweet We’ve all heard the statistics: It cost 5 times as much to acquire a customer than to keep one ( Forrester ), reduce churn by 5 percent and increase profits up to 125 percent ( Leading on the Edge of Chaos ), and that 70 percent of churn is attributable to poor customer experience ( Forum Corporate Research )It’s not a new revelation that customer loyalty is a table stake for sustainable growth. We all know that loyal customers are more profitable and yield a higher lifetime value. It’s common sense to invest in understanding what drives loyalty, value and the triggers of repeat purchases. Yet, most companies don’t understand what it takes to build loyalty. That often results in an investment strategy that works against the very thing they are trying to achieve – for Saa S/Cloud companies, that is making sure that 90 percent of customers renew.

"text": "\"Slideshow What Does a Fed Rate Hike Really Mean for Commercial Real Estate? 10 Top Economists Weigh In National July 24, 2015 Elliot Golan, Bisnow LAThere are growing expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates by the end of this year and, some predict, as early as September. Bisnow polled 10 of the country's top economists to find out what a Fed rate hike really means for commercial real estate. Begin slideshow View as one page<< 1 of 11 >>Victor Calanog, Chief Economist, Reis\"\"There are really two parts to this question: first, what does the impending rate hike mean for commercial real estate prices in the short run; second, what do higher interest rates imply for commercial real estate in the long run? The second question is easy to handle: in the long run, a higher interest rate environment means higher cap rates, and therefore, lower valuations, for commercial real estate properties. In the short run, however, a nominal increase in interest rates will probably do little to move the needle on commercial real estate pricing. Spreads are still wide so any upward pressure on cap rates will be nil; if anything, if the market perceives the rate hike to be a sign of strength for the US economy, foreign capital and heightened activity in real assets might mean lower cap rates and higher prices for the most desirable of properties in prime locations. \"\" << 2 of 11 >>Rajeev Dhawan, Director of Economic Forecasting Center at J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University\"\"First, we need to examine the reasons that lead to the Fed raising its rate, namely inflation and growth prospects for the future. Higher inflation tomorrow means that contracts that allow for inflation clauses will bump up the cash-flow stream from a property. That can negate the hit from the higher discount rate from the future higher interest rates."

Photo by Steven Georges/Behind the Badge OCBy Greg Hardesty May 12th, 2015Editor’s Note: Behind the Badge OC recently caught up with Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes to discuss the state of his agency and the broader picture of policing in America today. Hughes, 50, started working for the Fullerton PD two weeks out of high school as a cadet. He took over the department as acting chief in January 2012 and was unanimously elected permanent chief by the City Council in August 2013. Q. President Obama and others say mistrust of the police, especially in minority communities, is one of the biggest national issues today. How are you building trust? A. I don’t necessarily agree there is widespread mistrust of police. I will tell you here at Fullerton PD, I have experienced the complete opposite. We are engaging with our community on an ongoing basis."

"text": "\"Best & worst paid jobs: Waiters get 11% pay cut while chief executives see wages jump 15%By Tara Evans Updated: 12:32 EDT, 24 November 201120View comments If you've noticed service arriving with less of a smile recently, it may be because waiters and waitresses have seen their average annual wage drop by 11.2 per cent to £5,660, in the last year, according to official data. The squeeze was revealed in earnings data published by the Office of National Statistics. It showed that at the other end of the scale those most able to dine out on rising wages were company chief executives and directors - thanks to a bumper 15% increase. Nice job: Waitress and waiters see the third biggest drop in annual wages. Waiters and waitresses did not suffer the biggest cuts though. Topping the table were those producing leather products and credit agency salespeople, seeing 14.4 per cent and 13.8 per cent chopped off their annual wage. Those waiting tables came third in a table of the biggest pay cuts,closely followed by workers who may get less sympathy - traffic wardens, who have seen their pay cut by 11 per cent, to £17,750 a year. Energy plant workers, sports and leisure assistants and company secretaries all also featured in the top ten list for pay cuts in 2011. The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (November 2011) shows that the average annual salary for full time employees is now £26,200, while the median hourly wage is £12.62. Although full-time annual pay has risen by 1.4 per cent, with inflation at five per cent this represents a drop of more than 3.5 per cent in real terms."

At the risk of oversimplification, my vision is that the Surface Force meets its Title X obligation to be prepared to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea in support of national interests over time. That distinction of meeting our commitments over time is significant, as it drives us to think about the future of surface warfare in terms that are larger than just the next budget drill or the next deployment. That is why in my previous letter, I talked about trajectories, the one we are on, the one we need to be on and what we need to do to get on the required trajectory. Understanding both the geo-strategic and budgetary environments in which we operate, we have the formidable task of reducing Total Ownership Cost while at the same time improving our combat readiness now and into the future. In this update, I offer a more comprehensive discussion of how we are getting onto that required trajectory, which is broken into three elements: Warfighting Ability, Sustainable Excellence, and Wholeness over Time. Where we are... We cannot have a discussion of where the Surface Force is going without an understanding of where we are. Over the past year, the Surface Force has been constructing Readiness Kill Chains (RKC) for each ship class. This means that we have mapped and assessed the processes, from policy and requirements definition to deck plate execution, by which the Navy delivers Surface Force wholeness across each of the readiness pillars: Personnel, Equipment, Supply, Training, Ordnance, Infrastructure and Networks (PESTOIN). The data has confirmed what we long suspected: the Surface Navy is in a wholeness deficit as measured across the right side (our ships) of the pillars."

"text": "\"What does an Actuary do? An actuary is a combination of business executive, mathematician, financier, sociologist, and investment manager. Actuaries are problem solvers who use actuarial science to define, analyze, and solve the financial, economic, and other business applications of future events. The actuary's responsibilities date back to the early 1800's, when most actuarial work centered on developing mortality tables and life insurance policies. Today most actuaries are best known for their work in the insurance and pension fields, where they design financially secure benefit programs to protect people. But that is changing, and actuaries are finding themselves involved in many other areas. Trained to analyze uncertainty, risk, and probabilities, actuaries create and manage programs which will reduce the adverse financial impact of the expected and unexpected things that happen to people and businesses. These programs focus on areas such as life, health, property, casualty, and investment possibilities. Projects with which actuaries may be involved can be as varied as: Determining a company's monetary value in a merger or acquisition. Estimating the impact of seat-belt laws in automobile losses and determining appropriate rate discounts."

( DDR Corp., Roger Mastroianni)Print Email By Michelle Jarboe, The Plain Dealer Email the author | Follow on Twitter on March 03, 2017 at 8:42 AM, updated March 03, 2017 at 4:14 PM0 shares BEACHWOOD, Ohio -- The revolving door at DDR Corp. 's top office has swung around again, less than a year after the real estate company's last CEO change. The publicly traded real estate investment trust, based in Beachwood, announced early Friday that it has hired a new, three-person leadership team from Equity One, Inc., a retail developer that was gobbled up by a competitor in a merger deal that closed this week. Former Equity One CEO David Lukes is now DDR's president and chief executive officer, with a seat on the company's board of directors. He's replacing Thomas August, who took over the top job in July after the sudden firing of David Oakes. This week's change is DDR's fourth chief executive switch-up since 2009 and comes as a bit of a surprise, since the company entered a multiyear employment contract with August in December. That contract, which extended through early July 2019, allowed either party to cancel the agreement without cause with 90 days notice. Wes Golladay, an analyst who tracks DDR for RBC Capital Markets in Solon, said hiring a team with deep retail experience should bring stability to the company after a few years of C-suite upheaval and gradual transformation. \"\" I think now you know who your team is, and you have a team that has worked together before,\"\" Golladay said. \"\""

"text": "\"Introduction Creation of the SEC Organization of the SEC Laws That Govern the Industry Introduction – The SEC: Who We Are, What We Do The primary mission of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, these goals are more compelling than ever. The world of investing is fascinating, complex, and can be very fruitful. But unlike the banking world, where deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can lose value. There are no guarantees. That's why investing should not be a spectator sport; indeed, the principal way for investors to protect the money they put into the securities markets is to do research and ask questions. The laws and rules that govern the securities industry in the United States derive from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it. To achieve this, the SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public, which provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to use to judge for themselves if a company's securities are a good investment. Only through the steady flow of timely, comprehensive and accurate information can people make sound investment decisions. The SEC also oversees other key participants in the securities world, including stock exchanges, broker-dealers, investment advisors, mutual funds, and public utility holding companies."

"text": "A company's chief marketing officer is responsible for the overall strategy and budget of the company's marketing plan, including internal and external branding initiatives, advertising strategies, and departmental structure. He or she is also responsible for the overall performance of the marketing department. The position most often reports directly to the president or chief executive officer of the company. This term may also be used to refer to the highest-ranking marketing official in the company, in which case, it is a descriptor rather than a title. The employee described could be the vice president of sales and marketing or the director of marketing services, and he or she will most often report to a vice president or to a c-level (top level) officer. The duties and responsibilities of a chief marketing officer can vary dramatically between companies, and factors such as company size, corporation status, and company structure all play a significant role in determining the job description for this position. For example, a large company with international operations may have both a chief marketing and a chief advertising officer. A smaller company would be unlikely to employ a chief advertising officer, so the duties of that position would be incorporated into the other role. Ad One common area of responsibility for this position is strategy, which can include determining the target audience for a company's products or services, developing a brand image, and setting departmental goals. The chief marketing officer is usually instrumental in creating the company's marketing plan, which all subsequent advertising and promotional campaigns must support."

They are also responsible for the design and creation of marketing and promotional tools that will enable the firm to make more inroads into the target market. Marketing specialists play a number of roles in this duty. Key among these is the overseeing and implementation of vital areas of the marketing plan designed for a given firm or establishment. Most entry-level marketing specialists have bachelor's degrees in marketing, communication, or advertising. Some employers look for individuals who have previously worked in marketing or advertising related firms. Other employers look for applicants who have demonstrated the ability to market and advertise effectively in sectors that are related to the firm's core area of business, which may be in finance, health care, sales, or even information technology. Applicants for the position of marketing specialist often have degrees in the areas of marketing. Many of these persons have bachelor's degrees or master's degrees in business administration and have majored in marketing.

Chief Operating Officers are chief executives, but as they help the CEO and/or president oversee the general operations (day-to-day business) of the company, they are considered general leaders, and their corporate and educational backgrounds vary. On the whole, many Chief Operating Officer hold bachelors and masters degrees in a field of business, but not all. The more important part of a Chief Operating Officer resume is the experience vs. the education, it seems, although attending a top rated school may open up the choicest opportunities for businesspeople starting out. A strong track record in business, public office and sometimes academia with an emphasis on bringing about solid results, making sound decisions, and keeping a company out of trouble would probably best describe the backgrounds of most successful Chief Operating Officer. In the business world, there is only one Chief Operating Officer per company, so the path to Chief Operating Officer is a highly competitive one, as well. What does a Chief Operations Officer do? Chief Operating Officers are chief executives, but as they help the CEO and/or president oversee the general operations of the company, various department heads and general managers, regional directors and the like. Not every company as a formal Chief Operating Officer position, and may spread these responsibilities over the titles of CEO or President.

By DARREN DAHL OCT. 26, 2011At Quickoffice, which sells software that allows users to create and edit documents on mobile devices, Alan Masarek always enjoyed getting deep into the numbers of his business — almost as if he were chief financial officer instead of chief executive. That is because Mr. Masarek, who helped found the Plano, Tex., business in 2002, has a background in finance. “ I always wore two hats in my business: the C. E. O. hat and the de facto C. F. O. hat,” he said, adding that he relied on staff accountants and a controller to help him run the everyday accounting functions of the company. That changed in 2010, when he decided to hire a full-time chief financial officer. “ Not every company needs a C. F. O.,” Mr. Masarek said. “ It depends on how dynamic the business is. I needed to hire someone who could function as my business partner and allow me to step away from the books so I could manage other aspects of the business better."

Completed Staff Work’ is the study of a problem, and presentation of a solution, by a staff officer, in such form that all that remains to be done on the part of head of the staff division, or the commander, is to indicate his approval or disapproval of the completed action. The words ‘completed action’ are emphasized because the more difficult the problems is, the more the tendency is to present the problem to the chief in piecemeal fashion. It is your duty as a staff officer to work out the details, no matter how perplexing they may be. You may and should consult other staff officers. The product whether it involves the pronouncement of a new policy or affects an established one, should, when presented to the chief for approval or disapproval, be worked out in finished form. Trending Head of Texas Anti-Gun Group Charged for Berating Teens Over Wearing This T-shirtstreiff The impulse which often comes to the inexperienced staff officer to ask the chief what to do, recurs more often when the problem is difficult. It is accompanied by a feeling of mental frustration. It is easy to ask the chief what to do, and it appears so easy for him to answer. Resist the impulse."

Photograph: Justin Lewis/Getty Images The traditional chief marketing officer (CMO) role is dead. Businesses that relegate the marketing department to that of just brand and awareness are missing two pillars that are changing the role of marketing and its chief officer forever. Instead, a new role is emerging that is organised around the customer. Whether this position wears the title of chief customer officer, chief client officer, or chief experience officer, it has one clear focus – customer engagement. Forward thinking CMOs are evolving from simple data capture and batch-and-blast marketing tactics to develop customer intimacy, driving deeper and lasting consumer engagement. In our recent report, 84% of people believe customer engagement will overtake productivity as the primary driver of growth. A company's digital marketing strategy must be aligned around optimising each unique 'customer moment'. But what can CMOs do to gain the competitive advantage and ride this new marketing innovation wave of customer engagement? Embrace digital marketing; embrace technology According to Gartner, by 2017 the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO."

And yes, they dish about Mc Donald's. By Kyle Stock and Venessa Wong | February 2, 2015By restaurant industry standards, Chipotle Mexican Grill does countless things wrong. Its outlets aren’t in the busiest locations. It spends too much money on food. It doesn’t serve breakfast; it doesn’t do drive-throughs, franchises, or even much in the way of advertising. It almost never adds anything new to its menu. Employees still cut all the tomatoes — hundreds of thousands of pounds a day — by hand. It is, in so many ways, the anti-Mc Donald’s.

Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, our investor protection mission is more compelling than ever. As our nation's securities exchanges mature into global for-profit competitors, there is even greater need for sound market regulation. And the common interest of all Americans in a growing economy that produces jobs, improves our standard of living, and protects the value of our savings means that all of the SEC's actions must be taken with an eye toward promoting the capital formation that is necessary to sustain economic growth. The world of investing is fascinating and complex, and it can be very fruitful. But unlike the banking world, where deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can lose value. There are no guarantees. That's why investing is not a spectator sport. By far the best way for investors to protect the money they put into the securities markets is to do research and ask questions. The laws and rules that govern the securities industry in the United States derive from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it, and so long as they hold it."

Tech 9/18/2017 @ 12:01PM 11,795 views Pegasystems Is A 34-Year-Old Startup That Is Built For Change Pegasystems has experienced tremendous success in recent years. The stock is up more than 100 percent in the past year, and enterprises are increasingly adopting the company’s software for customer engagement and operational excellence. It is tempting to think of the company as a start-up, perhaps run by a 20-something entrepreneur in the Bay Area. In fact, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company was founded by 61 year old Alan Trefler in 1983. In many ways, Pegasystems has bucked the trend of a lot of software companies. Trefler did not accept venture capital early in the company’s tenure, and in so doing, he was able to dictate the pace of growth and mature the company in a way that has been sustainable. Likewise, though the company has been on the target of acquisition planning for several companies, including Salesforce, Trefler considers having an “exit strategy” as anathema to growing a successful company for the long term. Trefler recently wrote a book, Build for Change, which highlights his philosophy and his advice for company’s, who he believes need to evolve with customers as the latter’s needs change or face extinction. He shares insights on all of the above and more in my interview. ("

( February 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A general counsel, chief counsel or chief legal officer ( CLO) is the chief lawyer of a legal department, usually in a company or a governmental department. In a company, the person holding the position typically reports directly to the CEO, and their duties involve overseeing and identifying the legal issues in all departments and their interrelation, including engineering, design, marketing, sales, distribution, credit, finance, human resources and production, as well as corporate governance and business policy. This would naturally require in most cases reporting directly to the owner or CEO overseeing the very business on which the CLO is expected to be familiar with and advise on the most confidential level. This requires the CLO/general counsel to work closely with each of the other officers, and their departments, to appropriately be aware and advise. [ 1]Historically, general counsel often handled administrative tasks while outside lawyers in private practice handled more complex legal work. Since the 1980s, however, the general counsel position has become increasingly prominent in multinational companies, often directly advising the board of directors in place of outside lawyers. General counsel are now often among the most highly paid executives of major American corporations, and prominent American government lawyers and law firm partners are often hired for general counsel roles at prominent companies. Similar trends are also being seen in the United Kingdom and other countries. ["

"text": "\"What does a White House chief of staff do? 5 things to know By Chris Walker | Nov. 14, 2016It's been almost a week since Donald Trump won the presidential election, and the president-elect will have some tough decisions to make in the weeks ahead, even before he assumes office. Trump is currently in the process of selecting his cabinet members. On Sunday, Trump announced a vital pick: current Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus to fill the role of chief of staff. Priebus has proven himself capable to fill the role. During the presidential campaign, Priebus reportedly helped Trump hone in on and temper his message to voters. But what exactly does a chief of staff actually do? Here's some key responsibilities of the job. Manager of the Executive Office of the President The chief of staff position in the White House was created in 1939 during President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, and is tasked with overseeing the Executive Office of the President. The EOP includes a long list of officeholders, and the chief of staff is charged with making sure each and every one of them has access to the president, according to the Wall Street Journa l. Some positions in this office include the president's communications staff, their political directors and various other roles that comprise the president's inner circle."

[ 5] [6] [7] The Secretary of Defense's power and authority over the United States' military is second only to that of the President and Congress. [ 8] This position corresponds to what is generally known as a Defense Minister in many other countries. [ 9] The Secretary of Defense is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, and is by custom a member of the Cabinet and by law a member of the National Security Council. [ 10]Secretary of Defense is a statutory office, and the general provision in 10 U. S. C. § 113 provides that the Secretary of Defense has \"\"authority, direction and control over the Department of Defense\"\", and is further designated by the same statute as \"\"the principal assistant to the President in all matters relating to the Department of Defense\"\". [ 11] Ensuring civilian control of the military, an individual may not be appointed as Secretary of Defense within seven years after relief from active duty as a commissioned officer of a regular (i.e., non- reserve) component of an armed force. [ 12]The Secretary of Defense is in the chain of command and exercises command and control, for both operational and administrative purposes subject only to the orders of the President, over all Department of Defense forces: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force. This is also extended to the United States Coast Guard during any period of time in which its command and control is transferred to the Department of Defense. [ 13] [14] [15] [16] [17] Only the Secretary of Defense (or the president or Congress) can authorize the transfer of operational control of forces between the three Military Departments (the departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force) and the nine Combatant Commands ( Africa Command, Central Command, European Command, Northern Command, Pacific Command, Southern Command, Special Operations Command, Strategic Command, Transportation Command ). [ 13] Because the Office of Secretary of Defense is vested with legal powers which exceed those of any commissioned officer, and is second only to the President in the military hierarchy, it has sometimes unofficially been referred to as a de facto \"\"deputy commander-in-chief \"\".

By Connie Bruck After five decades in politics, Senator Feinstein calls the Intelligence Committee’s investigation of interrogation techniques the most important work of her career. Photograph by PARI DUKOVICDianne Feinstein, the Democratic senator from California, is making a late career of not quite pleasing anyone. After five decades in politics, Feinstein, at eighty-one, is the oldest sitting member of the Senate, where a late term is often less a valedictory than a chance for activism: think of Edward Kennedy or Mitch Mc Connell. With its elaborate rankings and deferential codes, the Senate rewards longevity; senior members have better committee seats, more loyal patrons, first choice of desk space in the chamber. As they near retirement age—whatever that means, in an institution where nearly a quarter of the members are over seventy—senators can hope to change a thing or two. When Barack Obama took office, on January 20, 2009, the Democrats held the Senate, and Feinstein had just become chairman of the powerful Intelligence Committee. At Obama’s inaugural ceremony, she delivered the welcoming remarks, standing before an eager crowd and declaring, “Future generations will mark this morning as the turning point for real and necessary change in our nation.” Skeptics on the National Mall might have noted that this was not a novel sentiment in such speeches, but for Feinstein it was an earnest indicator of political engagement. As the Bush Administration came to an end, the country was reconsidering the decisions of the previous eight years, particularly the ethics of the War on Terror."

Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, our investor protection mission is more compelling than ever. As our nation's securities exchanges mature into global for-profit competitors, there is even greater need for sound market regulation. And the common interest of all Americans in a growing economy that produces jobs, improves our standard of living, and protects the value of our savings means that all of the SEC's actions must be taken with an eye toward promoting the capital formation that is necessary to sustain economic growth. The world of investing is fascinating and complex, and it can be very fruitful. But unlike the banking world, where deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can lose value. There are no guarantees. That's why investing is not a spectator sport. By far the best way for investors to protect the money they put into the securities markets is to do research and ask questions. The laws and rules that govern the securities industry in the United States derive from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it, and so long as they hold it."

The Truth: It’s true that Hillary Clinton’s ex-boss has accused her of being a “liar” and “unethical” during the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment inquiry into Watergate, but claims that she was fired for those reasons are false. Claims that Hillary Clinton had been fired from the impeachment inquiry first went viral during her 2008 presidential bid. A column written by Dan Calabrese, the founder of Northstar Writers Group, appeared in countless forwarded emails, and the e Rumor was born. The column was inspired by statements made by Jerry Zeifman, a Democrat who served as counsel and chief of staff for the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation. Zeifman’s book, “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,” and comments that he made on his website, which is no longer active, have been critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s actions during the Watergate investigation, and in the years that followed. Jerry Zeifman said he supervised Hillary Rodham Clinton as she worked on the team that worked on the Watergate impeachment inquiry, and that during the investigation Hillary Clinton had “…engaged in a variety of self-serving, unethical practices in violation of House rules. ”Specifically, Jerry Zeifman said Hillary Rodham Clinton and others wanted Richard Nixon to remain in office so Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy would have a better chance of being elected president. Zeifman said a young lawyer who shared an office with Clinton came to him in August of 1974 to apologize that he and Clinton had lied to him."

"text": "\"The author provides guidance for majors preparing for promotion to lieutenant colonel. The secret lies in having a valid, updated 5-year plan. While serving as a logistics majors' assignment officer for 2 years, I was often asked what it is really like to work at the Army Human Resources Command (HRC). I answered this question in many different ways. My answer changed often because every day brought a new set of challenges. One of the consistent challenges was the large number of logistics majors and senior leaders who had difficulty understanding the logistics major's professional timeline. One tool to help them understand and manage this timeline is a 5-year plan. Why You Need a 5-Year Plan Approximately a month into serving as one of the three logistics majors' assignment officers, I learned two valuable pieces of information that would shape how we assisted logistics majors over the next 2 years. First, the logistics promotion rate to lieutenant colonel had decreased from 90 percent to 76 percent. Second, the officers who were not selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel typically had not completed schools or served in positions that were outlined as key and developmental (KD) in Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 600–3, Commissioned Officer Professional Development and Career Management."

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) presents its position on 24 significant issues. For areas of conduct not covered by the PHS definition of research misconduct, the statutory mandate and regulations do not replace the authority of extramural institutions to establish their own professional norms on the responsible conduct of research. ( 1) Categories of Personnel Covered - Inquiries and investigations required by the ORI assurance program must be conducted on allegations of research misconduct brought against any individual involved in PHS-supported research. This includes postdoctoral fellows, residents, graduate students, undergraduate students, nurses, technicians, and other staff members. Institutional policies and procedures may not be limited only to faculty and professional staff. Policies and procedures which do not apply to all individuals engaged in the research enterprise do not meet the requirements of either the institution's assurance to ORI or the Federal regulation at 42 C. F. R. Part 93 and may place the institution's assurance in jeopardy. ( 2) Confessions and Negotiated Pleas - Occasionally, institutions have accepted a \"\"confession\"\" or admission of misconduct in lieu of a full investigation, especially when the respondent has left or offered to leave the institution as part of a negotiated settlement. However, respondents sometimes withdraw or explain away their \"\"confession\"\" after the institutional report is sent to ORI. Consequently, ORI requests that confessions be fully documented in the record using the terms of the research misconduct definition (falsification, fabrication, or plagiarism) and acknowledging that the action constitutes research misconduct."

This comes on the heels of Budget Director Peter Orszag’s resignation. Dr. Romer is generally considered to have the inside track to replace Janet Yellen as President of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank when Dr. Yellen moves to become Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. There is a lot of press speculation about why Dr. Romer is leaving and about why Budget Director Peter Orszag left. This speculation centers on the personalities and interactions among various members of the President’s economic team. I think I can instead add a little value by describing the different positions that make up the President’s economic team, and in particular by explaining the roles of the heads of the National Economic Council and the Council of Economic Advisers. The NEC is run by Dr. Larry Summers, while Dr. Romer is the outgoing CEA Chair. White House staff Let’s begin with some formal organization that is broader than just the economic team.

As part of that commitment, the University and its constituent campuses are responsible for providing a safe learning and working environment for students, faculty, staff and other members of the University community. Some students may, because of a medical condition, engage in behavior that presents a direct threat of harm to themselves or to others, or substantially disrupts the learning or working environment of others. In such situations, the safety and security of the campus community, including the individual student, is paramount. This policy does not replace or supersede reasonable and appropriate security and health and safety measures, such as calling 911 or taking other immediate action in case of imminent threat to life or limb. In addition to taking action to protect the security and safety of the campus community, a college may address the student’s conduct to determine if action under this policy or under the student disciplinary process is appropriate. When a student’s conduct that directly threatens or substantially disrupts the learning or working environment of others appears to relate to a medical condition, the campus may, at its option, address the student’s conduct either in accordance with this policy, or through the student disciplinary process. If the student’s conduct constitutes a threat solely to him or herself, it should be addressed under this policy rather than the disciplinary process. Primary Principles As an alternative to disciplinary action that may be taken under Article XV of the University’s Bylaws, a college of the University may bring a proceeding to require a student to withdraw from the University, or, under some circumstances, the student’s home college and/or from residence in a college residence hall under this withdrawal policy and procedures when the student’s behavior evidences a direct threat of harm to others, or when the student’s behavior substantially disrupts the learning or working environment of others. A direct threat means a significant risk of harm to health or safety."

Child psychologists work exclusively with children and adolescents to diagnose and help resolve issues causing emotional or behavioral problems. Their education is the same as general psychologists, with additional emphasis on child development and behaviors. Child psychologists may choose to work in a variety of settings, and sometimes may combine work in several environments. Private Psychologists Most child psychologists work with individual children to diagnose conditions and provide counseling and therapy. They may evaluate children for a variety of disorders, including learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, anxiety and depression. They also evaluate children for developmental delays, signs of autism spectrum disorder and other problems that affect development. Additionally, psychologists may help children overcome abuse, trauma such as the death of a loved one, and other personal experiences that affect their mental and emotional health. They typically see children in a private office setting. Depending on their diagnoses, they may refer children to other specialists, to a psychiatrist for medication, or propose a treatment of therapy through regularly scheduled visits."

"text": "\"Can Kids Remember Childhood Sexual Abuse? By Emily Cohen Oct. 4, 2007Email Many may wonder how a girl who was raped and filmed for a child pornography tape could ever be considered a \"\"happy, and perfectly healthy little girl\"\" just a few years after the assault occurred. But according to the Nevada mother whose daughter was discovered last week to have been featured on a sex abuse tape when she was only 2 years old, the child is not reeling from the traumatic events. In fact, she is actually doing quite well. In a press conference Wednesday, Jerry Donohoe, the family's attorney who read the mother's statement, said that he did not believe the girl has any idea what happened to her. \"\" I believe she had no memory of the event,\"\" said Donohoe, who also said that the girl had been reviewed by psychologists since the tape was discovered. While we only have the statements of the mother and lawyer to gauge the condition of the child, the case raises questions about how young children remember traumatic events and whether it is possible that this girl in question may not remember -- also known as suffering \"\"traumatic amnesia\"\" -- the very events that put her in headlines nationwide. Children Likely to Remember Sensations, Not Specific Events, Experts Say\"\"It is possible that if a child is sexually molested at a very early age that they might not have a recollection of the incident,\"\" said Dr. N. G. Berrill, a forensic psychologist who has not treated the girl in the Nevada sex tape. \"\" There would be the possibility of some kind of memory [of the incident] but not necessarily the kind of memories we talk about. \"\" The traumatic experience, Berrill said, may be translated into nervous or timid behavior by the child, who does not understand exactly what happened or may not be able to remember the specific events."

"text": "\"The difference between normal and abnormal psychology tends to be one of degree of disruption. Normal psychology is the study of human behavior, with a focus on “normal” or average, socially-acceptable traits and behaviors. Abnormal psychology, by contrast, is the study of unusual human behavior, and includes the study of mental disorders. The distinction between normal and abnormal psychology can be very stark or quite subtle; it is often easy for an unconventional form of behavior to be considered abnormal, when it may simply be simply a different approach. One way to help distinguish between them is to determine the effect behavioral patterns have on the well-being of the individual in question. The study of normal psychology involves the examination of general psychological and behavioral responses of a population. For instance, the study of child psychology focuses on how children tend to develop mental and behavioral characteristics as they age. Normal psychology creates a frame of reference from which inferences about typical behavior and thought patterns can be drawn. For instance, if ten children experience the death of a beloved grandparent, and eight experience sadness and anger upon learning about the death, the conclusion might be that sadness and anger are normal psychological responses to the situation. Ad When discussing the other two children in the example above, the distinction between normal and abnormal psychology comes into play."

The term \"\"norms\"\" refers to what is normal, or typical. Developmental norms refers to typical characteristics or patterns of development at any given age. Paul Baltes observed that development is multidimensional. Thus, we may study the development of many different types of characteristics. There is now consensus among developmental psychologists (i.e., psychologists who like to study the nature and nurture of human development) that there are four general areas of human development, i.e. ,1. Physical (i.e., changes in the body, nervous system, and ability to use them)2. Cognitive (Mental) (i.e., changes in our knowledge and understanding)3."

Child psychology was mostly ignored until the early 20th century until Sigmund Freud began focussing on the importance of childhood events and how they affected adults. Even with Freud's work, most people still believed that children thought and acted the same way as adults. This concept was challenged by a researcher named Jean Piaget. Piaget proposed that children are not just small adults but actually think differently and process information in a different way than adults. Piaget proposed that all children go through different stages of development and within each stage there are specific skills and cognitive abilities that a child will develop. Now most people recognize that children have different cognitive abilities depending on their age and a child psychologist is interested in both researching how children develop as well as helping children deal with issues that affect them. A child psychologist will look at the change in cognitive, psychosocial and physical development overtime as well as how these affect a child's ability to cope with a variety of situations."

Child Psychology Career Basics With a thorough understanding of what makes children tick, child psychologists work with their young patients to diagnose and treat a variety of developmental, behavioral and emotional psychological disorders. The majority of child psychologists are focused on clinical care rather than research, meaning they work directly with patients to devise treatments and monitor their progress. Psychologists serving children can be found in a range of settings, including schools, hospitals, clinics and private practice. Those who do work in research are mostly considered with gaining better understanding of how behavioral and mental development affect children as they age. Child Psychology Careers In-Depth Child psychologists are tasked with ensuring the mental health of future generations, and this responsibility comes with many requirements. In addition to undergraduate educations, child psychologists must complete a doctoral program, numerous practicums and fieldwork placements, and supervised post-doctoral training. Aside from clinical and research positions, some child psychologists elect to work in administrative or programmatic roles, developing curriculums or other academic programs that help address behavior management or positive emotional and behavioral development. Child Psychologist Salaries & Job Growth Child Psychologist Salaries Across the USRoles for psychologists – including those who work with children – offered a median salary of $72,580 per year, while those in the upper echelons can expect to bring home close to $125,000 annually. Depending on the state where an aspiring child psychologist expects to practice, this number can fluctuate."

"text": "Overview Working with children is usually associated with disciplines such as teaching, nursing, and social work. But if you want to combine childcare and pedagogy with the fun of psychology, there are other avenues to take. One is to pursue pediatric psychology, which absolutely craves people with a passion for both. Here’s how to become a pediatric psychologist. The term “ child psychology ” is commonly used as a synonym for pediatric psychology, and it is not without reason. Both terms describe the same line of work. A career in this area requires being adept at understanding children’s inherent needs. Sometimes, this may require you to get down to their level. To rekindle the childish spirit within, in other words. However, you will not get by as a childish and immature practitioner."

"text": "What Does a Forensic Psychologist Do? Forensic psychologists offer their professional expertise to aid the judicial system in both civil and criminal matters. Since the psychological assessment of those involved in the legal system is the primary concern of forensic psychologists, it’s incredibly important for those in the field to possess strong clinical skills. These include clinical assessment, interviewing, report writing, strong verbal communication skills and case presentation. Psychologists are often called upon as advisors and expert witnesses and can provide recommendations as to client competency, sentencing and treatment during trial. Analysis of evidence found at crime scenes allows psychologists to develop criminal profiles, which are then used to narrow down a list of suspects. Additionally, forensic psychologists can act as consultants to legal and administrative populations. Though the role of the forensic psychologist has been sensationalized on TV and in films in recent years, many professionals primarily conduct research in a more scholarly capacity. Such research has contributed to improving interrogation techniques, criminal rehabilitation and the design of correctional facilities. The place of employment and area of specialization of the forensic psychologist determine how they work in the field."

"text": "\"Dyslexia, Ages 3 to 6By Beatrice Motamedi What is dyslexia? Although the term has fallen out of favor among child psychologists and other experts, dyslexia is popularly used to mean a disability in processing language. There are three types: visual (trouble recognizing printed letters or words); auditory (trouble distinguishing certain sounds or connecting sounds to letters), and \"\"expressive writing\"\" (trouble drawing or writing legibly or trouble proceeding from thinking a word to writing it). Your child may have any or all of these types. How common is dyslexia? Among children in U. S. public schools, three in 20 receive special education for reading problems; 3 to 5 percent of those kids most likely have dyslexia. Boys are diagnosed with dyslexia more often than girls, though some research indicates that this may be at least partially due to bias on the part of some medical professionals. Some experts believe that dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting 5 percent or more of all elementary age children. What causes dyslexia? Nobody knows for sure, but most experts agree that some type of neurological dysfunction is involved."

"text": "The Basics The American Board of Forensic Psychology defines forensic psychology as “the application of the science and profession of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system.” Forensic psychologists work with a team of lawyers, judges, and police where scientific knowledge and expertise are needed. A forensic psychologist might be called upon to evaluate an individual whose mental status has been called into question to determine whether that individual were competent to testify in a court of law. He or she might be asked to examine a child to determine whether the child understood a lie from the truth or understood right from wrong. Forensic psychologists can work with victims of crime to help them through deal with their trauma and help to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The more glamorous role forensic psychologists play on television and movies, solving crimes and finding criminals with psychology, is much less common in real life. How Do Forensic Psychologists Help Police? Police departments often employ forensic psychologists to help them better understand the psychological underpinnings of criminal behavior. Forensic psychologists might help police by conducting research into criminality. The research of forensic psychologists is generally used by police to improve their ability to predict criminal behavior and devise strategies for effectively addressing crime."

"text": "Summer 2010Family and Relationships Self-Esteem: Helping Children Develop A Positive Sense of Self Gina Stepp It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” American abolitionist Frederick Douglass’s words of wisdom seem blatantly intuitive. Nevertheless, agreement on how best to build strong children is not easy to come by, despite the fact that nearly every month a new parenting book is published, promising new and shocking insights to simplify parenting forever. Rather than simplifying the process, however, it seems that each book merely adds to the mounting literature, threatening to make a parent’s task more difficult rather than less so. Prominent developmental researchers Nancy G. Guerra and Catherine P. Bradshaw gathered a group of their colleagues to comb through the published research with the goal of reaching a consensus on a set of attributes that could be considered common to well-adjusted youth. The project, the results of which were published in 2008, was supported in part by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After extensive review, the researchers identified five “competencies” that emerged as core components of positive youth development: a positive sense of self, the ability to practice self-control, effective decision-making skills, a moral system of belief, and prosocial connectedness. Although Guerra and her colleagues acknowledged that additional attributes could potentially be included, the consistent message of existing research is that adolescents who demonstrate high levels of these five key assets are less likely to engage in risk behaviors and better able to become productive adults. Although there are certainly areas of overlap among these five markers of healthy child and adolescent development, each skill presents an opportunity for a rich discussion about the role parents can play. In this article, however, we’ll address only the first of these markers, which has been at the center of child-rearing debates for decades: a positive sense of self."

Therefore, I have prepared this form letter for you, the client, to review. This will give you references to the time frames and events on a procedural basis, which you can expect in your custody struggle. The first step in any Family Court custody case is the filing of the petition. If there has never been any court intervention before, the petition merely needs to allege why the petitioning parent feels he or she would be the person better able to take care of the child or children. If there has been a previous order in the Family Court or in Supreme Court, the petition must allege some substantial change in circumstances which justifies the court going back and re-examining the issue of custody. What are some examples of a change in circumstances justifying a Court's re-examining of a custodial order? Some are obvious, such as the remarriage of a parent, or the introduction of a new adult into the household of the child. Sometimes a change of location where the parents have been living somewhat far apart, more than an hour away, and one parent then moves in close proximity to the custodial parent. Another example would be some clear indicia of poor parenting."

Posted Aug 19, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMOREIt is hard to believe the summer is almost over. Whenever you turn on the TV, the back-to-school advertisements remind us that it’s true. Yet, there is no advertisement for a Special Education Consultant. You see hours of getting the right school supplies and new clothing, and if you live in an area without school buses, arranging for transportation to and from school. At times all this planning and arranging can be overwhelming, but the feeling lessens when your child enters school on the first day, and continues to decrease after the first few weeks. This is not the case if you have a child with a developmental, physical or emotional disability. In some states evaluations for an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) precede the first day of school, while in other states it is after your child has started or on the yearly anniversary. I remember my son being evaluated prior to entering the 1 st grade."

In a SPIEGEL interview, he offers a scathing critique of the mental-health establishment and pharmaceutical companies, accusing them of incorrectly classifying millions as mentally ill out of self-interest and greed. Photos DPAAugust 02, 2012 01:18 PMPrint Feedback Comment Jerome Kagan can look back on a brilliant career as a researcher in psychology. Still, when he contemplates his field today, he is overcome with melancholy and unease. He compares it with a wonderful antique wooden chest: Once, as a student, he had taken it upon himself to restore the chest with his colleagues. He took one of its drawers home himself and spent his entire professional life whittling, shaping and sanding it. Finally, he wanted to return the drawer to the chest, only to realize that the piece of furniture had rotted in the meantime. If anyone has the professional expertise and moral authority to compare psychology to a rotten piece of furniture, it is Kagan. A ranking of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century published by a group of US academics in 2002 put Kagan in 22nd place, even above Carl Jung (23rd), the founder of analytical psychology, and Ivan Pavlov (24th), who discovered the reflex bearing his name."

Now, with high energy prices wood burning has become an appealing adjunct to oil and gas heating systems. The ritual of firestarting is a marvelous blend art and science. The end product...fire... is your reward for all the work involved... gathering, splitting, stacking and tending; all both primitive and sensual. Evolving from that rock-circled pile of wild wood to a modern thermostatically-controlled living room fireplace has taken thousands of years. As with much of human development, this evolution was a child of need, but some subtle joy has been lost in this technological advance. But fun fire... campfires, bonfires, and that long gone but lovingly remembered autumn ritual of leaf burning by the curbside... can still be yours through the noble chiminea, the popular outdoor potbelly fireplace.

This ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which gasoline may undergo combustion. If the temperature is lower than this, a fire is needed to ignite gasoline. If too little air is present, a higher temperature is needed. Continue Reading Keep Learning At What Temperature Does Human Skin Burn? What Is the Freezing Point of Petrol?

Their coats are thick and plushy to protect them from the harsh natural elements in such a region. Humans have domesticated chinchillas, but they are still adapted to their wild habitat rather than our own. Any owner must keep this in mind when caring for a chinchilla. Optimum temperature for a chinchilla is between 60 and 70 degrees fahrenheit with low humidity. Generally speaking, they can temporarily tolerate up to about 76 degrees, but 72-73 is about the highest recommended temperature. Basically, if you're comfortable in a thick winter sweater, they'll be comfortable. Keep this in mind at all times. Danger sets in at much over 78 degrees. A chinchilla cannot effectively cool itself like humans and other animals can."

So here are some top tips for taking care of your chiminea. Steps1 The fire in a clay chiminea needs to be built on a bed of sand so the fire doesn't actually come into contact with the clay. Check your instructions carefully to make sure you set the fire properly. Not doing so may cause cracks in a clay chiminea. Children's play sand will work well. Don't move your chiminea with the sand in place in the bowl. You may damage the chiminea (or yourself).2 Start with a small fire with a few pieces of wood (on top of the sand) to season your chiminea. Do this several times before trying a larger fire."

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Fuels3 See also4 Notes History [ edit]Historically chimeneas have been made out of fired clay and used for heating and cooking. These traditional designs can be traced to Spain and its influence on Mexico. The first use of a traditionally designed chiminea appears around 400 years ago. The chiminea was once a daily life necessity that served a domestic purpose. The chiminea of the past was used indoors for heating and cooking, usually by an open window or in the center of the hut or home with an opening in the roof to allow smoke to escape. With the advent of the modern home, chimineas are now used outdoors mainly for entertainment in a backyard setting. Because of the exposure to elements and occasional usage, clay chimineas no longer serve as the material of choice. The lifespan of the newer cast iron - and aluminium -design outdoor fireplaces and concern for safety have mostly replaced the traditional clay models."

The pinyon or piñon pine group grows in the southwestern United States and in Mexico. The trees yield edible pinyon nuts, which are a staple of the Native Americans, and still widely eaten as a snack and as an ingredient in New Mexican cuisine. The name comes from the Spanish pino piñonero, a name used for both the American varieties and the stone pine common in Spain, which also produces edible pine nuts typical of Mediterranean cuisine. Harvesting techniques of the prehistoric Indians are still being used to today to collect the pinyon seeds for personal use or for commercialization. The pinyon nut or seed is high in fats and calories. Pinyon wood, especially when burned, has a distinctive fragrance, making it a common wood to burn in chimineas. [ 1] The pinyon pine trees are also known to influence the soil in which they grow by increasing concentrations of both macronutrients and micronutrients.

Get in contact the planning offices in your area to see if any restrictions apply.2 Place your chimenea in a safe place where you won’t have to move it. Chimeneas are heavy and moving one isn’t always easy. However, you may have more options closer to your home than other types of fire pits due to the chimenea’s chimney and smaller mouth. [ 7]Find a flat, stable, non-combustible natural surface. Bricks, gravel, granite, paving stones and concrete are great options. Don’t place your chimenea under any trees or other overhangs.

"text": "\"« Fish-shaped Chiminea Makes Outdoor Fires Easy | Main | Open Gas Fireplace Ditches Glass Barrier »How to Light Your Pilot Light When you have a gas fireplace installed, the technician will probably light the pilot light and get everything up and running for you. However, the pilot light can be blown out if there are heavy winds sweeping down the chimney. If you've never had to re-light it yourself, you may be wondering what to do. Here's the lowdown: Lighting the pilot is pretty much the same process with all gas stoves: depress the ON/OFF/PILOT knob slightly and turn it to the PILOT setting. Next, push in on the same knob with one thumb while clicking the piezo igniter button repeatedly with the other until the pilot lights (the thumb pressure holds the gasline open until the pilot flame can heat up the thermopile, so you need to keep the knob depressed for about 45 seconds, so the thermopile has time to start generating before you can let go of the thumb pressure). If the pilot goes out when you remove your thumb, it means the thermopile didn't heat up enough to hold the gas line open, so wait a couple of minutes and repeat the process until the pilot stays lit with your thumb removed. Once the pilot remains lit when you stop depressing the knob, turn the knob to the ON position. Now you can light the burners with the manual switch, thermostat, or remote control unit. Source: Sweep's Library December 11, 2006 in Gas Fireplaces | Permalink Comments I have a remote control gas fireplace and pilot light won't stay on. I can light it and wait 2-3 minutes but when I let go it goes out."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Marc Nissim Design Designer Marc Nissim maximized space in this outdoor area, adding a dining space, fireplace and pond-like pool that are all optimal for entertaining. By: Sean Mc Evoy Related To: Outdoor Fireplaces Budgeting Fireplaces Hardscaping If you've decided an outdoor fireplace is in the plans for your home's external living space, you probably have plenty of curiosity about outdoor fireplace costs. The materials featured and fuel used, size and scope of the fireplace, and whether or not it's a custom-built design or a store-bought model will go a long way towards defining how much money you'll burn on this new outdoor fire feature. Chances are it'll be worth the investment, as outdoor fireplaces tend to be hugely popular elements of outdoor design, providing a natural gathering, entertaining and even cooking space. Whatever you invest, the returns are likely to be hefty in terms of cozy and comfortable quality time spent with friends and family. One of the first decisions that will affect the pricing of your outdoor fireplace is whether you want it to be a fixed-in-place, custom-built design, or a store-bought, prefabricated or modular unit. Homeowners who opt for a custom build are generally looking for a more high-end design, and the price will certainly reflect that, as these projects generally cost many times the budget of required for a prefabricated fireplace purchased from your local home improvement store. Firstly, any custom build will require the services (and therefore the time labor costs) of a stone mason and/or contractor. Stonework can be quite expensive, depending on the scope and complexity of the design you decide to implement."

The Chinese Tallow (Popcorn Tree) Shade Tree is an ideal tree for shading a patio or for screening an objectionable view, or just acting as a privacy screen plant. Green seedpods on the Chinese Tallow (Popcorn Tree) Shade Tree later open to look like exploded popcorn. Spectacular fall-leaf color changes begin around Halloween on the Chinese Tallow Shade Tree, and as a small but fast growing shade tree and forms a dense, rounded crown with small poplar-like leaves, and in the Fall, turn into a mass of yellows, reds and oranges. The Chinese Tallow tree will cover your yard with beautiful shades of yellow, red, and green in the fall. Not many trees show the wide array of color changes that are found in the Chinese Tallow tree. Though the Chinese Tallow fruit may look somewhat like popcorn, it is not used for food. Instead, the nut contains vegetable oil used to make candles and soap, thus, giving the Chinese Tallow (Popcorn Tree) Shade Tree the popular name, \"\"Popcorn Tree.\"\""

Even the nasal septum is processed to make chondroitin sulfate, a drug used for the treatment of arthritis. A cow is elementary. Milk and butter and cheese from cows fill the dairy shelves in supermarkets, and the meat section is stacked with cuts of cow. The fast-food restaurants of this world are archipelagoes of ground cow. And, lately, much of the anxiety people feel about life, and especially about agriculture, is compounded of cow too. Especially burning cows, and cows in heaps waiting to be burned, and cows being tipped into mass graves. Several million cows have been killed in Great Britain and other European countries during the past 15 years to prevent the spread of two diseases. One is foot-and-mouth disease, which broke out this past February on English farms in Cumbria and Devon, leading to a prophylactic mass slaughter of cows and sheep throughout Britain and France."

David Bennett | Apr 30, 2008Energy needs and the resulting chase for more corn and soybean acres have already changed the nation’s cropping landscape. If current trends continue, more change is coming. What might that mean for Louisiana? First, here are the 2007 acreage counts for the state:• Soybean – 600,000• Cotton – 335,000• Corn – 730,000• Grain sorghum – 250,000• Rice – 400,000• Sugarcane – 400,000• Hay – 250,000• Other -- 50,000• Total – 3,075,000“We have a bit over 3 million acres to produce crops on,” said Don Boquet at the LSU Ag Center-sponsored Ag Outlook 2008 Conference in Monroe, La., in late February. “ All of these can be grown to produce biofuel. ”Meeting federal mandates for biofuel production will require some 100 million acres-plus of cropland – 13 million for the biodiesel mandate alone. “There’s a lot of uncertainty,” said Boquet, an LSU Ag Center agronomist based at the Macon Ridge Research Station in Winnsboro, La. “One thing we do know is that future crop selection will be based on economics not functionality. Farmers will plant what will make the most money and that’s why there’s a lot of bidding for acres, right now. ”Louisiana’s traditional crops with potential for biodiesel production are soybeans and cotton."

"text": "\"7th Jan 2018History and Benefits of Grass Fed Beef Tallow Tallow, in the last 50 years, has all but vanished from our vocabulary. It was vilified by vegetable oil producers as an artery clogging, unhealthy fat when in fact, it is one of the best oils to both cook with and rub on your skin. Thankfully, emerging scientific research is exposing the real truth that tallow from grass fed cattle is actually a healthy fat and a great choice. In this article, we uncover what tallow is, how it is similar to our own sebum and why grass fed is better than conventionally-raised. What is Tallow? Tallow is rendered Suet. Suet is the fat that surrounds the organs of a cow or deer, typically the kidneys. Once heated, suet will liquefy into gold colored oil that separates from the tissues originally intertwined throughout the suet (such as muscle and ligaments). At this liquid state, the fat is then strained through a filter to remove impurities. Once cooled, tallow becomes hard."

Jimmy Moore is dropping weight with the fervor of a college wrestler right now on his experimental ketogenic diet. In fact, he’s lost about 47 pounds in the last 3 months, and he’s still going. He’s an awesome guy and he’s been struggling with his weight for a while now, so I’m psyched for him to say the least. He gives updates every month or so on his progress, but he never tells his readers exactly WHAT he’s eating. I’m itching to know. Now, Jimmy isn’t strictly Paleo: he eats full fat dairy, so even if he did report to us what he was eating, it wouldn’t be super helpful to a lot of people. I got to thinking what a ketogenic Paleo diet might look like. Without all that cheese and cream to assume the fat positions, it’d require a lot more tallow, lard, coconut oil, and coconut milk, as well as the fatty meats, eggs, nuts, and avocados. Here’s a picture of one of Jimmy’s meals to give you an idea of the amount of dairy he’s eating (well, at least at this particular meal)."

In fact, some of the best Paleo-friendly fats might be right under your nose: animal fats. Animal fat, of course, has a terrible reputation, but like all the rest of the low-fat myth, it’s completely undeserved. Fat, including saturated fat, from healthy pastured animals does not cause heart disease, cancer, high cholesterol, obesity or anything else. Chalk up one more point for traditional wisdom: the fats our grandparents and great-grandparents cooked with are good for us after all. Why choose animal fat? When you have jars of olive or coconut oil available in every store, why would you want to go for something “weird” like tallow or schmaltz? It’s usually cheaper.

Koalas love leaves. An adult koala is a leaf - eater. It eats eucalyptus leaves. When koalas are not sleeping, they are usually eating or looking for food.

"text": "\"A chiropodist is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders. Exactly what services a chiropodist can perform and the education required to join this profession can vary significantly by country. In the United States, chiropodists are more commonly known as podiatrists or foot doctors. Scope of Practice The practice of chiropody or podiatry differs in significant ways in different countries, although the chiropodist's focus is always on the foot. In the United States, for example, podiatrists can diagnose disorders, prescribe medications, and perform surgery, but in the United Kingdom, they need additional training to qualify as surgeons. Authorities in each Australian state set their own regulations that allow some chiropodists to prescribe some drugs to patients, but this depends on the chiropodist's qualifications and the nature of the medication. Common foot problems that a podiatrist may treat include bunions and toe deformities, calluses, corns, and blisters. Most are qualified to perform minor surgery to remove ingrown toenails, and can teach patients how to care for the nails and feet correctly. They may also analyze a patient's way of walking — also called the \"\"gait\"\" — to diagnose foot, leg, and back pain, and make recommendations for how to relieve any discomfort. Chiropodists may specialize in caring for the feet of athletes, older patients, diabetics, or people with arthritis, among other areas."

They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is highly contagious through direct person to person contact. There are various forms of HPV which all relate to various parts of the human body. What causes the problem? The virus is thought to thrive in moist, damp environments such as swimming pools, changing room floors and communal shower areas. It is possible to contract verrucae simply by walking across the same floor area as someone with a verruca, especially if you have any small or invisible cuts or abrasions that make it easier for the virus to penetrate. Is it serious? Verrucae are harmless but can be uncomfortable and painful if they develop on a weight bearing part of the foot. In addition, callus can form over the top of the verruca increasing the discomfort in this area."

Podiatrists can also supply orthotics, which are tailor-made insoles, padding and arch supports to relieve arch or heel pain. You put the orthotic device into your shoe to re-align your foot, take pressure off vulnerable areas of your foot, or simply to make your shoes more comfortable. Even if your feet are generally in good condition, you might consider having a single session of podiatry to have the hard skin on your feet removed, toenails clipped, to find out if you’re wearing the right shoes (take your shoes with you for specific advice on footwear) or just to check that you’re looking after your feet properly."

The podiatric physician is a health professional specialist who is involved with examination, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle disorders by the use of physical, medical and surgical means.

But the term \"\"podiatrist\"\" can be a little confusing to some because in different countries, and even in some parts of Canada, the term may be misused. More on t his below.

There is an increased likelihood that health care professionals will be in the CRA national priority list for audits this year and in the coming years. In the HST provinces, (Nova Scotia (15% HST), Ontario, Newfoundland/Labrador, New Brunswick (13% HST), British Columbia (12% HST)), the assessments may add up to large amounts.

Contrary to what many people believe, there's no need to remove earwax unless it's impacted. © CHINA PHOTOS/Reuters/Corbis It might seem weird that humans produce wax. After all, that's typically considered the domain of bees. But as anyone who's ever used a cotton swab knows, human ears generate a fair amount of the substance. While earwax is usually detected in the outer ear, it's actually made in the ear canal (between your outer, visible ear and your middle ear). This section of the ear is lined with wax-producing cerumenous glands. Earwax — also known by its technical name, cerumen — is primarily created by those glands. ( Sebum, a fatty secretion of the skin, and dead skin cells also contribute to the makeup of earwax.) It's usually made up of about 60 percent keratin (a protein), with the rest a combination of dead skin cells, fatty acids, cholesterols and other compounds [source: Guest et al. ]."

To do that, one needs to determine which type of medical professional is suited to treat that condition. But the medical field, like in any other fields in the industry, is made up of different types of doctors and specialists. Their intense and rigorous medical training have demanded them not only to master at least the basics of scientific discipline which include anatomy, cell biology, physiology, epidemiology, pharmacology, nutrition, and so on but also to specialize in their chosen specific field. To give an overview, below is a list of the complete & comprehensive 59 different types of doctors & healthcare professionals (both medical and non-medical) and the area they specialize in. Types of Doctors (Medical)#1 Allergist An allergist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the identification and treatment of asthma, allergies, and related diseases. In addition to that, an allergist is also trained in determining the factors that trigger such diseases.#2 Anaesthesiologist / Anasthesiologist / Anesthesiologist Anaesthesiologists play a major decisive role in pain management. As their name suggests, anesthesiologists are physicians trained in anesthesiology or the science of administering anesthesia to patients during the surgeries."

"text": "Full Answer Warning signs of diabetes include changes in skin color on the feet, especially if skin turns from red to blue to black. Patients should watch for a red or black spot within a callus or corn on the foot, notes the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. A change in skin color delineates a lack of circulation to the feet commonly caused by diabetes. Black spots on calluses and corns should be examined as soon as possible for localized bleeding under the skin caused by excessive pressure. These spots may become ulcers if left untreated, and ulcers require more complicated treatment regimens. Plantar warts on the feet may contain little black dots due to blood vessels growing within the warts, according to Web MD. Plantar warts, or seed warts, are caused by viral infections on the surface of the skin. These types of warts are not harmful and usually go away within two years without treatment. The first warning sign of foot melanoma is a change in the color of moles on the foot. Most areas show blue or blue-black areas where melanoma is present, notes Medical News Today."

"text": "There are three steps required to become a chiropodist: post-secondary education, clinical experience, and completing the license requirements. A chiropodist is also known as a podiatrist. This type of medical doctor specializes in the foot and treatment of mobility issues related to the foot and ankle. A chiropodist can find employment opportunities in a hospital, fracture clinic, private practice, or a health services clinic. Patients are typically referred to a chiropodist by their family physician or by the hospital. The foot is critical to mobility and the appropriate treatment can allow patients with injuries, diseases, or foot pain to maintain normal, active lives. The first step to become a chiropodist is to attend medical school. All chiropodists are fully trained medical doctors. Admission to the chiropody program is based on marks obtained in the undergraduate degree, letters of recommendation, and an entrance examination. This type of program is not available at every medical school."

Flat feet are defined as an abnormal lowering of the medial longitudinal arch. There is often a hereditary component to the development of flat feet. Flat feet are more common in certain ethnic groups. Flat feet usually occurs equally in both feet and become apparent at an early age. Flat feet can initially be asymptomatic, but can become progressively symptomatic with age. Some flat feet never become bothersome. The medial arch is unstable in flexible flatfoot. The foot can bend as the heel lifts of the ground."

"text": "The main role of a chiropractic assistant is to assist a chiropractor with his or her daily duties. Most chiropractors employ a couple of assistants at one time. Thus, it is not uncommon for a chiropractic assistant to work alongside other assistants on a daily basis. Therefore, those people that are seeking employment as a chiropractic assistant should be willing to work as part of a larger team. In fact, teamwork is a large part of this job position. In addition, an assistant might be asked to greet patients, juggle scheduling, manage claims, educate patients, and help with certain procedures. Commonly, assistants are asked to keep waiting rooms and examination rooms clean, which may require some maintenance skills. Sometimes, a chiropractic assistant may also be responsible for administering physical therapy techniques, though this is not always the case. Since most chiropractic offices only have one licensed chiropractor, an assistant must be ready to take on a number of roles. Often, these roles include medical applications, and sometimes assistants may need to perform basic managerial tasks."

They certainly sound incapacitating, especially for a woman of her age. In your brief but detailed question you give a very clear picture of a neurological disorder (nerve-related). Given that it is affecting the regions mentioned it is likely that the problem could be in the left cervical region of the spinal cord (neck area). The problem could from an inflammatory process leading to swelling causing pressure on that part of the spinal cord which then leads to radiating pain and sensations along the branches of the nerve roots you described. If it is not inflammatory in nature then it could be a bony disease also compressing the spinal cord at this level."

"text": "\"Cost of Chiropractic Care HPatient Education Chiropractics Costupdated September 6, 2017Chiropractic care can treat a range of conditions, and help you improve your posture, alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, and enhance your overall wellbeing. When compared with other treatment options, it is often a more affordable alternative. However, there are many factors that influence the cost of chiropractic treatment. Below, we explain the considerations that affect the price of chiropractic care so that you can better understand what to expect and budget for your treatment. Overview In general, chiropractic services range from approximately $30 to $200 per session. Of course, each type of treatment has a different cost. For example, an initial consultation with a chiropractor may be provided at no charge, while a typical therapy session costs about $65 on average. More intensive or advanced care will most likely add to the expense of treatment, as will the frequency with which you undergo chiropractic therapy. Generally, chiropractic treatments must be repeated on a regular basis for a certain period of time to become and remain effective for patients. If you decide to pursue chiropractic treatment, your practitioner will provide more information about your expected costs at your first appointment."

"text": "Chiropractic Treatment of Sciatica Written by Ron Grassi, DC MS ACFEIEmail Print Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) medicine regularly treat sciatica. Sciatica is characterized by pain that originates in the low back or buttock that travels into one or both legs. Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity and frequency; minimal, moderate, severe and occasional, intermittent, frequent or constant. Pain is described as dull, achy, sharp, toothache-like, pins and needles or similar to electric shocks. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatica is also called radiating or referred pain, neuropathy, or neuralgia. A misconception is that sciatica is a disorder—however, sciatica is really a symptom of a disorder. Sciatica Is Caused by Nerve Compression Sciatica is generally caused by sciatic nerve compression. Disorders known to cause sciatic nerve pain include lumbar spine subluxations (misaligned vertebral body/ies), herniated or bulging discs (slipped discs), pregnancy and childbirth, tumors, and non-spinal disorders such as diabetes, constipation, or sitting on one's back pocket wallet. Sciatica pain may be felt in the low back area with radiating pain running down the leg."

January 19, 2016 / 0 Comments / in Keystone Chiropractic Blog / by Dr. Jonathan Chung +Outline: Spinal stenosis – when the name is sometimes worse than the problem Main causes of spinal stenosis Is chiropractic safe for patients with stenosis? There are thousands of people every year with neck pain or back pain that go to a doctor’s office, get an MRI, and end up with a diagnosis of spinal stenosis. If you happen to be one of these patients, I can understand your fears and concerns. After 2 years in my Wellington, FL office, we’ve had the opportunity to take care of dozens of patients with stenosis in their neck and lower back. Many times you went to the doctor because you have excruciating pain that is limiting your ability to live or work. You go and get an MRI which means the doctor is potentially looking for something seriously wrong, and when the results come back you get a diagnosis that sounds a little scary. Spinal stenosis is actually a relatively vague diagnosis. It literally means that the hole that surrounds your spinal cord has gotten smaller. Small hole in the spine disease doesn’t sound quite as scary as spinal stenosis does it?"

So here is MY “final answer”…IT DEPENDS. If you have a low overhead referral practice by design and you have reached your collection goals, then don’t make any changes. No need to fool with it. BUT…If you are catering to “the affluent’ or you haven’t yet reached your collection goals, here are a few things you should consider: Older/wealthier patients tend to be more conservative. This means that they typically prefer older more mature people to deal with. So if your front desk is on the younger side, you should consider having them wear conservative professional business attire with a white clinic jacket and name tag. (“ Ms. Jones” not “Amy Jones”)…and he or she should introduce him or herself that way. Ideally, no patient would know the first name of your staff."

"text": "\"Subluxation: Chiropractic's Elusive Buzzword Stephen Barrett, M. D. If you are examined by a chiropractor, you may be told that you have one or more subluxations of your spine. This article examines what this means and how you should react. Chiropractic theory is rooted in the notions of Daniel David Palmer, a grocer and \"\"magnetic healer\"\" who postulated that the basic cause of disease was interference with the body's nerve supply. Approximately a hundred years ago, he concluded that \"\"A subluxated vertebrae . . . is the cause of 95 percent of all diseases. . . . The other five percent is caused by displaced joints other than those of the vertebral column.\"\" [ 1] He proclaimed that subluxations interfered with the body's expression of \"\"Innate Intelligence\"\"—the \"\"Soul, Spirit, or Spark of Life\"\" that controlled the healing process. He proposed to remedy the gamut of disease by manipulating or \"\"adjusting\"\" the problem areas. Over the years, chiropractors have gone beyond Palmer's theories, although some still cling to them for dear life. Some describe subluxations as \"\"bones out of place\"\" and/or \"\"pinched nerves\"\"; some think in terms of \"\"fixations\"\" and/or loss of joint mobility; some occupy a middle ground that includes any or all of these concepts; and a small percentage renounce Palmer's notions as biotheistic nonsense—which they were."

The chart also lists other exemptions from the definition of veterinary medicine, such as those for animal owners, farming/livestock practices, artificial insemination, equine teeth floating/cleaning, and embryo removal or transfer. A handful of states do not have provisions specifically addressing CAVM. In these states, be sure to read carefully the state’s general definition of veterinary medicine, as well as the definition of scope of practice of other licensed professions such as chiropractic and physical therapy. About 20 states follow the AVMA Model Veterinary Practice Act by including CAVM in the definition of veterinary medicine, while another 20 states or so have enacted specific or general exemptions for regulated therapies, generally requiring some type of veterinary input such as supervision or referral. Please keep in mind that these are general summaries only, and for a comprehensive analysis of practice act scope and exemptions in a particular state, you are strongly advised to review the full text of the statute and regulations, and/or consult a local attorney knowledgeable in this field. The current laws and regulations can be found on most state legislative web sites. State veterinary medical associations are also excellent sources of information about their state’s practice act.

Did the workers' compensation physician fee schedule change because of Senate Bill 863? A. Yes. Senate Bill 863, passed on Aug. 31, 2012 and signed into law by Governor Brown on Sept. 18, 2012, required the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation to adopt a new physician fee schedule based on the resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) used in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Q. When is the new RBRVS-based fee schedule effective? A. It is effective for services rendered on or after January 1, 2014. Q. Are my old 1999 OMFS book, update pages, and Table A still in effect? A. The previous physician fee schedule (title 8, CCR §§9789.10, 9789.11) including the 1999 OMFS book, update pages, and Table A continue to be applicable to services rendered prior to January 1, 2014. Q. Where can I buy the new fee schedule? A. The new fee schedule is not for sale. All of the regulations, documents, and data files that constitute the fee schedule are available for free download via the DWC website, the Medicare website, or the Medi-Cal website, with the exception of the Current Procedural Terminology � 2014, which must be purchased from the American Medical Association."

I’ve written about that before and Jann Bellamy has written about it here, here, here, and here. A new study in The Journal of Chiropractic Education alleges that the National University of Health Sciences is nearing its institutional goal of training chiropractic students as primary care practitioners. The data they collected don’t even begin to support that assertion. The study is not only meaningless, it demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of the education required to practice competent primary care. Traditional education of MDs The 4 years of medical school are very different from those of a chiropractic school. When I was a student, the first two years were spent in classrooms and labs studying gross anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry, histology, neuroanatomy, microbiology, immunology, embryology, and other meaty science subjects. In the 3 rd year, students moved into the hospital wards, rotating through internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, OB/GYN, psychiatry, neurology, radiology, emergency medicine, etc. 4 th year clinical rotations involve a higher level of responsibility and include electives. Most of the clinical experience is with seriously ill hospitalized patients, but students also get some outpatient clinic experience."

"text": "How Chiropractors Can Help Arthritis Pain Learn about the different ways chiropractic care can ease joint pain and stiffness.| By Carolyn Sayre Advertisement Are you looking for a holistic way to take the edge off of those painful joints? Chiropractic medicine may be for you, as long as you remember to listen to your body. Unlike what you see on TV, most of what chiropractors do today is more gentle than cracking backs or popping necks into place. In fact, there are more than 150 techniques that chiropractors use to manually adjust the spine, joints and muscles with varying degrees of force. While an athlete with lower back pain may benefit from a high-velocity spinal adjustment, you would receive care specific to your needs. A chiropractor may gently manipulate your soft tissue to stop muscle spasms and relieve tenderness. Or she may use active exercises or traction to slowly stretch your joints and increase your range of motion. Your visit may feel like a more hands-on version of physical therapy. Chiropractors focus on the relationships between structure and function, explains Robert Hayden, DC, Ph D, a spokesperson for the American Chiropractic Association who has been in private practice for 22 years. They are different from an osteopath, who uses manual manipulations but also treats the entire body and may use medication or surgery."

The Healthy Indiana Plan is the state of Indiana’s signature, consumer-driven health coverage program for non-disabled Hoosiers ages 19-64. HIP continues to build on the successes of the original design and lessons learned since initial implementation in 2008. HIP provides incentives for members to take personal responsibility for their health. Through HIP, Indiana works to: Provide quality coverage choices for Hoosiers Provide additional substance use disorder services to address the opioid crisis Improve the health status of Hoosiers Provide health coverage to low-income Hoosiers and ensure an adequate provider network for both HIP and Medicaid enrollees Empower participants to make cost- and quality-conscious health care decisions Create pathways to jobs that promote independence from public assistance Ensure that HIP is fiscally sustainable How does HIP coverage work? In the HIP program, in each calendar year the first $2,500 of a member’s medical expenses for covered benefits are paid with a special savings account called a Personal Wellness and Responsibility (POWER) account. The state will pay most of this amount, but the member is also responsible for paying a small portion of their initial health care costs. The member’s portion is an affordable, monthly contribution based on income. The contribution that will be one of five affordable amounts between $1 and $20. Managing your account well and getting preventive care can reduce your future costs."

It was discovered by André-Louis Cholesky for real matrices. When it is applicable, the Cholesky decomposition is roughly twice as efficient as the LU decomposition for solving systems of linear equations.

Every Hermitian positive-definite matrix (and thus also every real-valued symmetric positive-definite matrix) has a unique Cholesky decomposition. [ 2]If the matrix A is Hermitian and positive semi-definite, then it still has a decomposition of the form A = LL * if the diagonal entries of L are allowed to be zero. [ 3]When A has only real entries, L has only real entries as well, and the factorization may be written A = LL T. [4]The Cholesky decomposition is unique when A is positive definite; there is only one lower triangular matrix L with strictly positive diagonal entries such that A = LL *. However, the decomposition need not be unique when A is positive semidefinite. The converse holds trivially: if A can be written as LL * for some invertible L, lower triangular or otherwise, then A is Hermitian and positive definite. LDL decomposition [ edit]A closely related variant of the classical Cholesky decomposition is the LDL decomposition,where L is a lower unit triangular (unitriangular) matrix, and D is a diagonal matrix. This decomposition is related to the classical Cholesky decomposition of the form LL * as follows: Or, given the classical Cholesky decomposition, the form can be found by using the property that the diagonal of L must be 1 and that both the Cholesky and the form are lower triangles, [5] if S is a diagonal matrix that contains the main diagonal of, then The LDL variant, if efficiently implemented, requires the same space and computational complexity to construct and use but avoids extracting square roots.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What does an electrical transformer do? ? what does it do? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A transformer changes the electrical current in some way. The most common, what you see on power lines (mains) are \"\"potential\"\" transformers. These change the voltage from one level to another, such as the distribution level voltage (anywheres from 4,000 volts to 25,000 volts) down to household level voltage (probably 120 volts or 240 volts). The higher voltages let you send more current, but are too dangerous for inside the house, so they are \"\"stepped-down\"\" with a step-down transformer (i.e. potential transformer). A second type of transformer is the \"\"current\"\" transformer. It changes amount of current being drawn across a wire, say from 200 amps to 0.5 amps. These are widely used in the meters that measure the electricity used at large manufacturing plants. A meter to measure a multi-thousand ampere load would be incredibly large."

A step-down transformer is simple and logical enough; you start out with a higher voltage and end with less, the remainder being wasted as heat. But with a step-up transformer, you end up with more voltage than you start with. I tried looking it up, but all I can find (whether online or even in some electronics texts) is general information on how transformers work (induction, Faraday’s law, construction, etc.) and explanations of the difference between step-ups and step-downs in terms of the number of turns, but not specifically how step-ups result in more voltage.

By Mindi Chahal 14 Apr 2016 10:34 am The term ‘ digital transformation ’ has been used to describe anything from creating a fully responsive mobile website to developing asocial media strategy, but in reality true transformation needs to involve much more than just the end product. So what does this mean for brands? Whose responsibility should it be and what does a transformation project really involve? And what challenges do businesses face when adapting people and processes to new technology and shifting to a ‘digital first’ approach? As digital now permeates every part of a business, many argue that it cannot be siloed. Marketing Week columnist Mark Ritson says as digital is indeed everywhere, “it’s impossible to find an Archimedean point where digital ends and so-called ‘traditional’ channels begin”. He also claims the death of ‘digital’ distinction is upon us , referencing Diageo’s CEO Ivan Menezes, who said: “It’s not about doing ‘digital marketing’, it’s about marketing effectively in a digital world. ”This casts doubt on the validity of having the word ‘ digital ’ in a job title because even though these professionals might take the lead on digital transformation projects, they should involve the entire business from the board to front-line staff.“"

The number of zero-valued elements divided by the total number of elements (e.g., m × n for an m × n matrix) is called the sparsity of the matrix (which is equal to 1 minus the density of the matrix). Conceptually, sparsity corresponds to systems which are loosely coupled.

To those that love werewolves understand that it is not a curse but still would rather not live with the so called disease and so these people seek a cure. They seek a cure for what they believe to be an evil trait, a disease, an abnormality of the human condition.

The symmetry suggests that we can store the matrix in half the memory required by a full non-symmetric matrix of the same size. Consequentially, one may suspect that it may also be possible to write M = LL T instead of write M = LU, as we saw in the topic on the LU decomposition. First, if the matrix M is 1 × 1, then M contains a single entry. In this case, we can write This immediately suggests that if we want to keep L real, then m 1, 1 ≥ 0.

On the other hand Mata is fairly new and has not yet \"\"caught on\"\" at the SSCC, so we don't have any real-world comparisons to offer. Mata is not a replacement for Stata, nor is it intended to be a stand-alone statistical package.

[1]Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics ). One of the earliest mathematical writings is a Babylonian tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection ( YBC 7289 ), which gives a sexagesimal numerical approximation of the square root of 2, the length of the diagonal in a unit square. Being able to compute the sides of a triangle (and hence, being able to compute square roots) is extremely important, for instance, in astronomy, carpentry and construction. [ 2]Numerical analysis continues this long tradition of practical mathematical calculations. Much like the Babylonian approximation of the square root of 2, modern numerical analysis does not seek exact answers, because exact answers are often impossible to obtain in practice. Instead, much of numerical analysis is concerned with obtaining approximate solutions while maintaining reasonable bounds on errors."

It is also referred to as finite element analysis ( FEA ). Typical problem areas of interest include structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow, mass transport, and electromagnetic potential. The analytical solution of these problems generally require the solution to boundary value problems for partial differential equations. The finite element method formulation of the problem results in a system of algebraic equations. The method yields approximate values of the unknowns at discrete number of points over the domain. [ 1] To solve the problem, it subdivides a large problem into smaller, simpler parts that are called finite elements."

Computational science (also scientific computing or scientific computation ( SC )) is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems. It is an area of science which spans many disciplines, but at its core it involves the development of models and simulations to understand natural systems. Algorithms ( numerical and non-numerical): mathematical models, computational models, and computer simulations developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social ), engineering, and humanities problems Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components needed to solve computationally demanding problems The computing infrastructure that supports both the science and engineering problem solving and the developmental computer and information science In practical use, it is typically the application of computer simulation and other forms of computation from numerical analysis and theoretical computer science to solve problems in various scientific disciplines. The field is different from theory and laboratory experiment which are the traditional forms of science and engineering. The scientific computing approach is to gain understanding, mainly through the analysis of mathematical models implemented on computers. Scientists and engineers develop computer programs, application software, that model systems being studied and run these programs with various sets of input parameters. The essence of computational science is the application of numerical algorithms [1] and/or computational mathematics. In some cases, these models require massive amounts of calculations (usually floating-point) and are often executed on supercomputers or distributed computing platforms.

This article takes a closer look at Mahalanobis distance. A subsequent article will describe how you can compute Mahalanobis distance. Distance in standard units In statistics, we sometimes measure \"\"nearness\"\" or \"\"farness\"\" in terms of the scale of the data. Often \"\"scale\"\" means \"\"standard deviation.\"\" For univariate data, we say that an observation that is one standard deviation from the mean is closer to the mean than an observation that is three standard deviations away. ( You can also specify the distance between two observations by specifying how many standard deviations apart they are. ) For many distributions, such as the normal distribution, this choice of scale also makes a statement about probability. Specifically, it is more likely to observe an observation that is about one standard deviation from the mean than it is to observe one that is several standard deviations away. Why?"

"text": "\"Featured Articles Recommended Use: Understanding The Durability Of Your Mechanical Watch And When To Take It Off Aug 17, 2014 — By Ariel Adams 77 Comments Share this article L uxury watch durability is an important issue to both consumers and retailers. People who spend money on expensive watches have a certain expectation of strength and durability, and those expectations aren't always met. We are talking about the type of activity a timepiece is designed for and when it is likely to break. In short, there is an educational and informational problem in the watch industry surrounding the issue of explaining to customers when wearing their new high-end watch is a good or bad idea. I recall a few months ago leading a seminar about watches to a group of retailers. A few jewelry and watch retailers began to complain that watch brands don't do enough to tell customers what is and is not appropriate when it comes to how to wear their watches. It seemed that people would go rock climbing with their new Patek Philippe or Swimming with their new Chopard dress watch. The consumers would then angrily return to the store complaining that their new \"\"incredibly expensive watch\"\" was breaking too easily and that this was not acceptable. Warranties did not apply when it was found that a Patek Philippe watch was dropped from 50 feet or that a watch with a water resistance of 30 meters was taken swimming. Sporty looks often conceal delicate mechanisms: pictured here is a Chopard LUC perpetual calendar module removed from the base movement Considering the issue, I feel that the retailers had a good point."

"text": "Introducing The Bulova CURV Chronographs, With High Frequency Shaped Quartz Movements Since 2007, Bulova has been owned by the Citizen Watch Co. of Japan, but it was for many decades before that an upstanding member of the American horological community, with many innovations to its credit – including, of course, the Accutron. The tuning-fork-based Accutron is largely a thing of the past, but Bulova still innovates in timekeeping technology, with its high-frequency, high-accuracy quartz calibers – and now, with its CURV family of chronographs, it presents the first curved-movement quartz chronographs ever made. Jack Forster March 18, 2016Since 2007, Bulova has been owned by the Citizen Watch Co. of Japan, but it was for many decades before that an upstanding member of the American horological community, with many innovations to its credit – including, of course, the Accutron. The tuning-fork-based Accutron is largely a thing of the past, but Bulova still innovates in timekeeping technology, with its high-frequency, high-accuracy quartz calibers – and now, with its CURV family of chronographs, it presents the first curved-movement quartz chronographs ever made. The CURV chronographs are, as they say, just what it says on the tin: shaped quartz chronograph watches, which allows the watch to sit very comfortably on the wrist. The movement is a variation on the Precisionist calibers that Bulova first introduced in 2010. These movements have a 262 kilohertz frequency, as opposed to about 32 kilohertz for a conventional quartz oscillator. The upshot is better accuracy – about +/- 10 seconds per year, according to Bulova; Precisionist movements can be distinguished by their smoothly sweeping seconds hands, which are reminiscent of the original tuning-fork Accutrons. ADVERTISEMENTWe first saw these watches at Bulova's global headquarters in the Empire State Building (the firm occupies an entire floor, incidentally, so it's still very much a U. S. presence) and despite the fact that quartz can be a little bit of a hard sell to an audience of mechanical watch enthusiasts, we think these are a pretty interesting design take on the genre – while also bringing something extra to the table from a technical perspective. Of course, if you're going to go to the trouble of producing a shaped, curved movement, it's nice to be able to actually see it, and on two of the more than a dozen models of the CURV chronos that will be available at launch, there's a display back showing the the 262 kilohertz movement in all its glory."

This a blog about watches and this post is actually about chronograph watch. Now what is chronograph watch? To summarize, it’s basically a stopwatch function that’s added to a normal watch. With a normal stopwatch, you are only going to get a device to measure time, but a chronograph is a wrist watch that has that function added to it. These are stopwatches (analog and digital versions)And these are chronograph watches (analog and digital versions). Now, can you tell the differences between stopwatch and chronograph watch? Stopwatch is more likely to be used for situations when accurate timing is needed such as sporting events or lab experiments."

Its history dates back to 1881 and its huge, staggeringly diverse product range is enough to bedevil a casual buyer who’s not particular about any specific model. For the general population, a little lowdown on inexpensive, albeit reliable Seiko chronograph watches shall be helpful; more so, when selecting the Seiko chronograph watches for women. The primary winning point for Seiko is a case diameter to fit 99.99% of people; even the Seiko Diver chronograph watches. It’s the rather large size of the Diver watches that drive people off, but Seiko shaped them to fit the public mind easier than the rest. Most come with screw in crowns and screw-lock pushers (solar chronographs, especially), so if you are panicked about water damages and failed rubber seals, buying a Seiko Diver Solar chronograph watch shall give you big relief. Next, it is the Seiko alarm chronograph. It is a feature that comes even in the brand’s mid-entry-level chronographs, a stark contrast to many other brands that hang a higher price tag with it. If you want an alarm function, stick to the Seiko Flight Alarm Chronograph if you are buying a watch for casual use and seek out a Seiko titanium chronograph if it’s dress in your mind. There’s also a different category of Seiko chronograph watches and those are the Seiko chronograph automatic quartz watches - The Kinetic, the Kinetic Direct Drive and the Spring Drive."

"text": "O n some of the analog watches or wristwatches from branch such as Omega and Casio, there is a outer scale bezel that inscribed around the rim and named tachymeter (also known as tachymetre or tacheometer). If you flip through the watch’s user guide or manual, you will not likely to find any explanation or definition on what is tachymeter or how to use the tachymeter functionality. Tachymeter is actually a tool used to compute speed based on travel time over a fixed distance traveled (like one mile or one kilometer). Thus, the tachymeter bezel or dial is a logarithmic scale (actually it’s not, as spacings between the marks on the tachymeter dial are proportional to 1/t where t is the elapsed time) that simplifies the computation of speed of an object, by computing the following function: Tachymeter Dial = 3600 / Elapsed Time In Seconds Tachymeter illustration Depending on on the range of the scale printed on the bezel, tachometer timer normally works and valid for all elapsed times from about 7.2 seconds to 60 seconds, thus only able to measure speed greater than 60 miles per hour or 60 kilometers per hour. To use tachymeter, simply start the chronograph or stopwatch when the object measured passing the starting line. When the object reaches the next mile or kilometer marker, stop the chronograph or stopwatch. The point on the tachymeter scale that adjacent to the second hand of the watch indicating the speed (in miles per hour or kilometers per hour) of object traveling between the two points. For example, we want to measure the average speed of a vehicle is moving. Start the chronometer or stopwatch function when the car passes the starting line, and stop the timer after the vehicle traveled exactly 1 mile or 1 kilometer. Then look at where the chronometer hand (the second hand of the watch) is pointing to, and get the reading or value of the corresponding number at the tachymeter bezel or dial."

From Alpina to Zenith, strap yourself in for the latest watch trends with the <i>GQ</i> Watch Guide to 2016. <i>GQ's</i> Watch And Jewellery Guide 2016 was published as part of the November 2015 issue of British <i>GQ</i>. A. Lange & Shne The leading Saxon watch house has plenty to celebrate this year, because it's two centuries since founder FA Lange was born and 170 years since he established his first factory. To mark these milestones, A. Lange & Shne has opened a new manufacturing facility and (of course) made an extra-special watch in the form of the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater, the first to feature a \"\"decimal\"\" minute-repeating mechanism, which sounds the time exactly as it is shown on the jumping numerals display. It costs more than £300,000. Watch of the collection Rather more affordable, but still exquisitely crafted, is the new Lange 1. The brand's signature watch gets its first significant upgrade since its introduction back in 1994 with a new hand-wound movement, a slightly narrower bezel and a jumping large date display, which advances on the stroke of midnight."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Definitions Comparisons The Difference Between What is a chronograph movement as apposed to an automatic or quartz movement? Flag What is a chronograph movement as apposed to an automatic or quartz movement? Answer by Drharris Confidence votes 157Typically, \"\"Chronograph\"\" does not describe the movement of a watch, but rather the \"\"complication\"\" of a watch's movement. A watch's complication is anything that provides advanced functionality, such as moon-phase display or perpetual calendar. In this case, \"\"Chronograph\"\" refers to a watch that is capable of stopwatch functionality in addition to timekeeping. Usually this is built into three separate dials for hours, minutes, and seconds. Such a watch can have any movement type (automatic, quartz), and can also have several complications at once. Note that digital watches with stopwatch functionality are considered \"\"digital chronographs\"\", and there is also the \"\"analog-digital chronograph\"\". Some online retailers confuse complications with the actual movement (putting \"\"chronograph\"\" for the movement), so further research should be done to determine whether the watch actually uses quartz or automatic movement.35 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"The History of Omega Index The History of Omega Omega Models The History of Omega Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and it represents perfection and success in the attainment of a task. The Omega story began in 1848 at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, when its founder Louis Brandt at the age of 23 opened a comptoir d'établissage, a sub-contracting sales office for watch manufacture.. In 1880, due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt moved into a small factory in the city of Bienne /Biel. With the introduction of their first series-produced calibers, Labrador and Gurzelen, in 1895 the watches achieved a precision of within 30 seconds a day. Four years later, Louis Brandt & Fils became the largest producers of watches in Switzerland, with a production rate of 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people. But this fact did not stop the exclusivity of the watches they produced: a clear example is the minute-repeating wristwatch, developed in 1892 in partnership with Audemars Piguet, and probably the first wristwatch of its kind. The famous Omega caliber became a brilliant market performer when it went into production in 1894. Its major points for salability were in its easily interchangeable parts, and its simplicity of construction. The company's banker, Henri Rieckel, suggested the name \"\"Omega\"\" for the new watch. The overwhelming success of the \"\"Omega\"\" name led to it being adopted as the sole name for all the watches of the company from 1903. Both Brandt brothers died in 1903, placing the fate of the company in the control of four people, the oldest of which, Paul-Emile Brandt, was only 23 years of age."

"text": "\"History of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Daytona is the name of a Florida city which, at the beginning of last century, started attracting motorsport enthusiasts for its wide beach of smooth, compacted sand, ideal for land speed record attempts. In 1936, the first stock car race was held on the Daytona Beach Road Course which was then replaced in 1958 when the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) created the Daytona International Speedway, the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. With its his banked design, the Daytona International Speedway permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars. Daytona became the world capital of speed. Since the 1930s Rolex had started to build a strong reputation as a manufacturer of versatile sport watches thanks to its 'sealed against the elements' Oyster case and famous testimonials like Sir Malcom Campbell, which can be somehow considered the first Ambassador of the brand. In those years, Rolex produced its first chronograph wristwatch with a single push buttons on the side to start, stop and reset a separate second hand. For these chronograph models Rolex adopted movements from the company Valjoux. But it was in 1955 that Rolex introduced a manual-wind chronograph in an oyster case which can be considered a precursor of the Daytona. The Rolex Oyster Chronograph reference 6234 featured a tachometer scale on the outer ring and a telemeter scale for distances on the inner ring. From 1955 to 1961, Rolex produced about 2300 stainless steel pieces and less than 150 in 14k or 18k gold in a variety of black and white dials."

Last updated Tue 8 December 2015By Christian Nordqvist Nicotine dependence Symptoms Causes Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Anxiety Complications Quitting Nicotine is an addictive substance that is mainly taken in through the lungs through smoking. Worldwide, over one billion people regularly smoke cigarettes, pipes, cigars, or hookahs. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), 23.1 percent of men and 18.3 percent of women in the United States are smokers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 443,000 deaths result every year from cigarette smoking, almost 1 in every 5 deaths. That is more deaths than the combined total from illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders. Smoking dates back around 7,000 years. Views of smoking have varied over time, from being a vulgar habit, a sophisticated pastime, to a deadly health hazard. Now, it is increasingly seen as an undesirable activity that is bad for the health. We now know that smoking is a leading cause of many diseases, such as heart attacks, erectile dysfunction, and lung cancer."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Engineering How much does a cigarette weigh? Lets say King Size only Follow 1 answer Answers Best Answer: I just stacked four cartons of Native Ultralight 100's on the bathroom scale. That's 800 cigarettes plus the cartons and paper packs. Since these cigarettes are 100 mm in length and \"\"kings\"\" are only 85 mm in length, I'll imagine that kings weigh 15% less. Which might not be true, because the filter is the densest part, and the filter size doesn't change. Oh well. I'm ignoring the paper and cartons anyway. OK, so the 800 cigarettes appeared to weigh three pounds, and deducting 15% would make that 2.55 pounds, divide by 800 and you get 0.0032 pounds per cigarette, about 1.5 grams.az_lender · 4 years ago0 1 Comment Asker's rating Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

The Act increases the Federal excise taxes on tobacco products, imposes a floor stocks tax, imposes new requirements on manufacturers and importers of processed tobacco, expands the definition of roll-your-own tobacco, and changes the basis for denial, suspension, or revocation of permits. To date, TTB has published several informational and guidance documents to assist industry members in complying with the Act’s provisions (see Industry Circular 2009–1, TTB Ruling 2009–1 and TTB Procedure 2009–1 ). In addition, in final rule T. D. TTB–104, TTB made permanent, with some changes, temporary regulations issued in response to the changes that CHIPRA made to the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, effective June 21, 2012, all CHIPRA-related regulations in 27 CFR parts 40, 41, 44, and 45, published in T. D. TTB–78, T. D. TTB–80, T. D. TTB–81, and T. D. TTB–104, are adopted as final. All documents related to the CHIPRA-related rulemaking are available for public viewing at the Regulations.gov website within Docket No. TTB–2009–0002. In addition, TTB has updated the floor stocks tax return, as well as several application and report forms, because of the new CHIPRA provisions. These forms include: TTB F 5000.28T092009 Floor Stocks Tax (also see Instructions for TTB F 5000.28T09)TTB F 5200.3Application for Permit to Manufacture Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco or to Operate an Export Warehouse TTB F 5200.16Application for Amended Permit to Manufacture Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco or to Operate an Export Warehouse TTB F 5220.6Monthly Report — Importer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco TTB F 5230.4Application for Permit to Import Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco TTB F 5230.5Application for Amended Permit to Import Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco TTB F 5250.1Report - Manufacturer of Processed Tobacco TTB F 5250.2Report of Removal, Transfer, or Sale of Processed Tobacco We also are providing the general guidance below and ask that you please contact the National Revenue Center (NRC) with any questions.

The 38-foot Top Gun Cigarette Racing hull is powered by an AMG electric drive pumping out 2,220 horsepower (1,656 k W) and 2,210 ft-lb (3,000 Nm) of torque for a top speed in excess of 100 mph (160 km/h or over 86 knots). The electrics are taken nearly whole from the SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive – the world's fastest and most powerful production electric car. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive was introduced last September at the Paris Motor Show. This gullwing coupé is pushed along by a set of four electric motors, one at each wheel, together providing a total of 740 hp (552 k W) and 727 ft-lb (985 Nm) of torque. Despite hauling along an extra 1,208 lbs (548 kg) of lithium-ion batteries, the Coupé Electric Drive does 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in under four seconds and can reach a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Having chosen the Coupé Electric Drive as the inspiration for the AMGCR collaborative project, the design team selected the Cigarette Racing Top Gun as the platform upon which to build an insane electric racing boat – the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. The Top Gun is a classic cigarette boat that's been a staple of the Cigarette Racing Team for over 25 years. With a length of 37.5-feet, an 8-foot beam, and a static draft of 27-inches, your classic Top Gun is available with a pair of Mercury Racing 600 SCi inboard engines providing a total of 1,200 hp (894 k W) of pure power, easily pushing the boat into triple-digit speed. Apparently deciding that anything worth doing is worth overdoing, AMGCR put not four, not eight, but twelve of the AMG electric motors into the new Top Gun."

You’re only breathing in water vapor and pure nicotine, the ads said. But have those claims held up since e-cigarettes were introduced to the U. S. and European markets 10 years ago? The science is a bit more complicated than it seems, with scientists doggedly fighting to heavily regulate e-cigarettes, and others touting them as the ultimate smoking cessation device. Is vaping bad for you? So is vaping really that bad for you? Most experts agree that the risk of cancer is likely lower in vaping than traditional cigarettes—but the effects from the ultrafine particles involved are comparable, and the science behind e-cigarettes is still young and relatively inconclusive. The Food and Drug Administration only began regulating e-cigarettes in August 2016, which essentially allowed e-cigarette manufacturers to operate without much oversight on nicotine contents and other chemical components in their e-cigarette liquids."

Flag How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The circulatory system transports oxygen through the body and the respiratory system supplies that oxygen. The respiratory system performs a process known as gas exchange that releases carbon dioxide from the body and brings in oxygen. This occurs in the lungs, and the circulatory system then transports the oxygen to tissues that used internal respiration to burn fuel in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy, thus creating more carbon dioxide. The alveoil transport oxygen from the lungs into the circulatory system. You breathe in oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs and the thin walls of the blood vessels in the lungs into the blood stream. Here it attaches to the hemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells."

From there, it enter the right atrium. Between the right atrium and the right ventricle there is a special valve which senses if there is blood in the ventricle. When the right ventricle is full, the special valve closes down so that the oxygen poor blood does not enter back into the atrium again when the heart is squeezing. From there the blood enters the pulmonary artery and end up in the lungs. After it gets oxygen rich, the blood is sent back to the heart through the pulmonary veins. The blood is dumped into the left atrium and there is another special valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The valve closes down so that the blood doesn't go back to the atrium when it squeezes. The blood is transported to the aorta after it leaves the ventricle."

Ideas and Concepts about the Respiratory System It is an organ in the human body. In humans and other mammals, the features of the respiratory system include the airways, lungs, and muscles. Diffusion passively exchanges the molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the external environment which is gaseous. All living things have a respiratory system, including plants and animal life. The differences are mostly the difference in parts, such as lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm. The most important part of the respiratory systems are the lungs. Lungs take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide which allows us to breath. The trachea is located somewhere near our throat, and it filters the air we breathe in and branches or sends it to the bronchi."

It also includes about 5 liters of blood that your heart transports through your blood vessels.1. The Heart Located slightly to the left of the middle of your chest, the heart is made of strong muscle tissue and is protected by your rib cage. Even though it is no larger than the size of your fist, it plays a vitally important role in your body. It consists of four hollow chambers – two ventricles and two atria. All four chambers work quite like pumps and push blood throughout your body. The blood that moves towards the heart enters it through the atria and then goes out to your body through the ventricles.

Fire POWER Stacking means Clustering Combined resources in a single, shared, configuration Clustering notes Clustering of device provides redundancy of configuration and networking functionality between two devices or stacks. With device clustering (also called device high availability), you can establish redundancy of networking functionality and configuration data between two peer devices or two peer device stacks. System treats devices in cluster as a single device Policies applied to cluster not to each device individually7000 and 8000 series support Clustering (HA)With a device cluster, the system fails over either manually or automatically (Clustering Failover and Maintenance Mode). You manually trigger failover by placing one of the clustered devices or stacks in maintenance mode. If the active cluster member goes into maintenance mode and the active role fails over to the other cluster member, when the original active cluster member is restored to normal operation it does not automatically reclaim the active role. After you cluster the devices, you cannot change the license options for individual clustered devices, but you can change the license for the entire cluster. Clustered state sharing allows the clustered devices or clustered stacks to synchronize the states, so that if one of the devices or stack fails, the other peer can take over with no interruption on traffic flow."

General Services Administration Updated: 10-05-2016Introduction Within This Page Introduction Description Application Additional Resources Imagine you went to sleep and woke up to a work day in 1960. How different is your work life today, compared to what it was 40 years ago? Clearly, there would not be a Starbucks on every corner or a cell phone in every pocket—but what else has changed and why? In today's world, the structure, content, and process of work have changed. Work is now:more cognitively complexmore team-based and collaborativemore dependent on social skillsmore dependent on technological competencemore time pressuredmore mobile and less dependent on geography. In today's world, you will also be working for an organization that is likely to be very different due to competitive pressures and technological breakthroughs. Organizations today are:leaner and more agilemore focused on identifying value from the customer perspectivemore tuned to dynamic competitive requirements and strategyless hierarchical in structure and decision authorityless likely to provide lifelong careers and job securitycontinually reorganizing to maintain or gain competitive advantage. This Resource Page explores the changing nature of organizations and work, the drivers behind the changes, and the consequences for workers and the workplace. Description A. The Key Drivers for Changing Nature of Work Although many factors ultimately contribute to the changing patterns of work, organizational theorists point to two key drivers: Increasing pressures on organizations to be more competitive, agile, and customer focused—to be a \"\"lean enterprise. \"\""

"text": "Breach Prevention, Detection, Response, and Remediation for the Real World Organizations are under attack, and security breaches are constantly making headlines. Today’s global community of hackers is creating advanced malware and launching it into organizations through a variety of attack vectors. These multifaceted, targeted attacks can evade even the best prevention tools. These tools inspect traffic and files at the point of entry into the network, block known threats, and let “good” or “unknown” files into the network. Unfortunately, that is where the analysis stops. If a stealthy malicious file manages to evade those defenses, these tools provide little visibility into the activity of threats on your system. This leaves security professionals blind to the scope of a potential compromise and unable to quickly detect malicious behavior, quickly respond, contain, or eliminate malware before it causes significant damage. Cisco ®Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) is a security solution that addresses the full lifecycle of the advanced malware problem. It not only prevents breaches but also gives you the visibility, context, and control to rapidly detect, contain, and remediate threats if they evade front-line defenses, all cost-effectively and without affecting operational efficiency. Product Overview AMP is an intelligence-powered, integrated enterprise-class advanced malware analysis and protection solution."

So far, the Cisco network management strategy has centered on disappointing products like Cisco Works, which for years has drawn the ire of otherwise loyal customers. Now Cisco wants to flip the script on its network management legacy, this week launching Cisco Prime, an umbrella brand for both enterprise and service provider network management products that are application aware. Executives have plainly said they want customers to know that Cisco is a software company, and this network management strategy is a major element of that. The Cisco Prime brand shifts away from the company's old device-centric view of network management, in favor of a \"\"service-centric management framework,\"\" according to Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of Cisco's Enterprise and Commercial Management Business Unit. \"\" What happens today if someone is having a video conferencing session and there is some pixelization or jitter?

"text": "On choosing VMware NSX or Cisco ACINov 3, 2014 • Brad Hedlund Are you stuck in the middle of a battle to choose VMware NSX or Cisco ACI? In this post I’ll attempt to bring some clarity and strategic guidance in first choosing the right path, then propose how the two technologies can co-exist. I’ll start with the message below from a reader asking for my opinion on the matter: Hi Brad,I’m involved in a new Data Center networking project where Cisco is proposing the Cisco ACI solution. I am starting to dig-in to the technology, but my immediate “gut reaction” is to use Cisco for a standard Clos-type Leaf and Spine switch network and use NSX for providing Layer 3 to Layer 7 services. I am interested in hearing your opinion about Cisco ACI versus VMware NSX, since you have worked for both companies. If you have time, it would be great to share your views on this subject. As you can imagine, this is a highly political discussion and our network team are Cisco-centric and resisting my ideas. We are a VMware/Cisco shop and I want the best fit for our SDDC strategy. For the sake of discussion, lets assume that your IT organization wants to optimize for better efficiency across all areas, and embark on a journey to “the promised land”. More specifically, you want to obtain template driven self-service automation for application delivery, as well as configuration automation for the physical switches and servers."

Firewalling Everyone's tags (3)firewall ids ips I have this problem too0 Helpful Reply7 REPLIESMarvin Rhoads Hall of Fame Super Silver02-02-2014 07:25 AMWhat is the difference between IPS, IDS and a firewall? The terms aren't precisely defiend in standards; but in general usage, here is a breakdown: IPS - Intrusion Prevention System - inspects traffic flowing through a network and is capable of blocking or otherwise remediating flows that it determines are malicious. Usually uses a combination of traffic and file signatures and heuristic analysis of flows. IDS - Intrusion Detection System - similar to IPS but does not affect flows in any way - only logs or alerts on malicious traffic. Firewall- prevents or allows traffic between interfaces based on configured rules. Often have a network address translation function to isolate private (RFC 1918) network addresses from public ones. May inspect traffic for conformance with proper protocol behavior and drop non-compliant traffic. Firewalls often have an optional IDS/IPS component based on their usually being placed at the optimal network location to see all interesting traffic that should be subject to further inspection and analysis as is done by IDS/IPS."

The document is organized according to the three planes into which functions of a network device can be categorized. It provides an overview of each security feature included in Cisco NX-OS and includes references to related documentation. The three functional planes of a network are the management plane, control plane, and data plane. Each provides functions that need to be protected. Management plane: The management plane is the flow path that traffic uses when it is sent to a Cisco NX-OS device. This plane consists of applications and protocols such as Secure Shell (SSH) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Control plane: The control plane of a network device processes the traffic that is important to maintaining the functions of the network infrastructure. The control plane consists of applications and protocols between network devices, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). Data plane: The data plane forwards data through a network device."

"text": "\"Introduction Companies around the globe are shifting to global value chains, extending work across time zones, languages, and cultural barriers. This geographic dispersion allows companies to source materials and manufacture products more cost-effectively. But a reliance on a global supply chain also introduces new challenges - making it more difficult to connect with the right people, resolve concerns, and respond quickly to changes and unexpected events. Many enterprises have made major investments in communication and productivity tools aimed at helping employees work more efficiently. The problem is that, historically, most of these efforts were designed to address computing problems. The problems that companies with large global supply chains face today are human problems - delays and inefficiencies around person-to-person communications. It is not that technology tools do not exist to address collaboration. Indeed, just the opposite is true: Web 2.0 tools such as video portals, podcasts, blogs, wikis, and discussion forums are changing the way information is created, published, managed, and consumed. Meanwhile, technology advances, and the need to work outside of normal business hours and locations, are creating an increasingly mobile and distributed workforce. To respond to these demands, employees are supplementing standard corporate communications with a variety of new consumer-based tools and applications."

Rich Miller | Feb 07, 2010In the beginning, there were text files. As the Internet evolved, the files moving across the network grew in size - first photos, then videos, then widgets. And now, with virtualization transforming many IT departments, virtual machines loom as the next payload networks must confront. On Monday Cisco Systems (CSCO) will officially introduce a new technology that will make it easier to seamlessly move groups of virtual machines between data centers. Cisco says its Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) solves many of the challenges that have made it difficult to shift large workloads between facilities, potentially opening new frontiers in disaster recovery, data center consolidation, and even energy management. Tunneling Over IP OTV is a new feature of the Nexus OS operating system that encapsulates Layer 2 Ethernet traffic within IP packets, allowing Ethernet traffic from a local area network (LAN) to be tunneled over an IP network to create a \"\"logical data center\"\" spanning several data centers in different locations. OTV technology will be supported in Cisco's Nexus 7000 in April 2010, and existing Nexus customers can deploy OTV through a software upgrade. Cisco says its overlay approach makes OTV easier to implement than using a dark fiber route or Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) over IP to move workloads between facilities. \"\" This way the server team can move virtual servers and the network team doesn't have to reinvent the wheel,\"\" said Craig Huitenga, director of marketing for Cisco's data center solutions."

Video How does SD-WAN work? Cisco has three words for network architects looking to grow their data centers: Faster. Flatter. Simpler. The vendor says its Fabric Path technology embodies all three qualities by making far better use of connections between data-center switches than the venerable spanning tree protocol (STP). In this exclusive test, we assessed Fabric Path in terms of its ability to boost bandwidth, reroute around trouble, and simplify network management. In all three areas, Fabric Path delivered: Cisco's pre-standard take on the IETF's forthcoming TRILL specification showed real improvement over STP-based designs. There is a catch: The latest 1/10-gigabit Ethernet line cards for the Cisco Nexus 7000 are the first, and so far only, products to enable Fabric Path.

Adding D-link to your network does not require any additional configuration of your Cisco devices. D-link wireless router performs NAT service for users conneted to its LAN (cable or Wifi). So in your cisco network, these users would be represented by one address - the address of the D-link WAN interface (connects D-link to Cisco router). Let's say, for example, you have subnet of 192.168.5.0/24 between your Cisco device and D-link wifi router. You have to configure static IP address of the WAN interface of D-link, let's say 192.168.5.1 .... all users behind D-link (on wifi or eth lan) are represented by address 192.168.5.1 in your cisco network (because of the D-link NAT). So you do not have to configure anything new on your Cisco devices."

Elevated levels indicate damage to eithermuscle or brain; possibly from a myocardial infarction (heart attack), muscle disease, or stroke. There are three types, or isoforms, of CK: CK-I, or BB, is produced primarily by brain and smooth muscle. CK-II, or MB, is produced primarily by heart muscle. CK-III, or MM, is produced primarily by skeletal muscle. Precautions No special precautions are necessary, except in patients with a bleeding disorder.

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Emergency Medicine Cardiac Markers Updated: Jan 08, 2017Author: Donald Schreiber, MD, CM; Chief Editor: Barry E Brenner, MD, Ph D, FACEP more... Share Email Print Feedback Definition and Efficacy Cardiac markers are used in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The cardiac troponins, in particular, have become the cardiac markers of choice for patients with ACS. Indeed, cardiac troponin is central to the definition of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in the consensus guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC): These guidelines recommend that cardiac biomarkers should be measured at presentation in patients with suspected MI, and that the only biomarker that is recommended to be used for the diagnosis of acute MI at this time is cardiac troponin due to its superior sensitivity and accuracy. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]For example, patients with elevated troponin levels but negative creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) values who were formerly diagnosed with unstable angina or minor myocardial injury are now reclassified as non–ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI), even in the absence of diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. Similarly, only 1 elevated troponin level above the established cutoff is required to establish the diagnosis of acute MI, according to the ACC guidelines for NSTEMI. [ 4, 5, 6]These changes were instituted following the introduction of increasingly sensitive and precise troponin assays. Up to 80% of patients with acute MI will have an elevated troponin level within 2-3 hours of emergency department (ED) arrival, versus 6-9 hours or more with CK-MB and other cardiac markers. Accordingly, some have advocated relying solely on troponin and discontinuing the use of CK-MB and other markers. [ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] Nevertheless, CK-MB and other markers continue to be used in some hospitals to rule out MI and to monitor for additional cardiac muscle injury over time. Note that cardiac markers are not necessary for the diagnosis of patients who present with ischemic chest pain and diagnostic ECGs with ST-segment elevation."

A: Quick Answer High calcium levels in the urine may be due to high vitamin D levels, chronic kidney disease, eating excess calcium, calcium leaks from the kidneys into the urine, sarcoidosis, use of diuretics and excess production of parathyroid hormone, notes the United States National Institutes of Health's Medline Plus. Typically, elevated levels of calcium in the urine indicate the presence of an underlying condition, but a lab test is required to confirm. Continue Reading Keep Learning When Are Low Creatinine Levels in Urine Harmful? What Causes High Triglycerides? What Causes High Calcium Levels? Full Answer Excess production of the parathyroid syndrome is the leading cause of elevated calcium in the blood, and this condition is known as primary hyperparathyroidism, notes UCLA Health System. People with this condition have a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland that causes calcium to leave the bone into the blood. Taking water pills, or diuretics, causes the kidney to hold calcium, preventing its removal through the urine and increasing the blood calcium level. People suffering from a chronic kidney disease are likely to have high levels of calcium in the blood due to reduced kidney function."

D., University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, La Jolla, California SURITI KUNDU, M. D., San Diego, California WILLIAM A. NORCROSS, M. D., University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, La Jolla, California Am Fam Physician. 2005 Jul 1;72 (01):119-126. The term “acute coronary syndrome” encompasses a range of thrombotic coronary artery diseases, including unstable angina and both ST-segment elevation and non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Diagnosis requires an electrocardiogram and a careful review for signs and symptoms of cardiac ischemia. In acute coronary syndrome, common electrocardiographic abnormalities include T-wave tenting or inversion, ST-segment elevation or depression (including J-point elevation in multiple leads), and pathologic Q waves. Risk stratification allows appropriate referral of patients to a chest pain center or emergency department, where cardiac enzyme levels can be assessed. Most high-risk patients should be hospitalized. Intermediate-risk patients should undergo a structured evaluation, often in a chest pain unit. Many low-risk patients can be discharged with appropriate follow-up."

"text": "Next | Previous | Index Overview of Feline Bloodworkby Andrea Jensen Fall 2008Introduction Feline bloodwork is a common diagnostic tool used in the feline patient. It is often ordered as a geriatric screening for older cats that appear healthy, a pre-anesthesia screening, or as part of a set of diagnostics in systemically ill patients. As a geriatric screening, systemic imbalances such as hyperthyroidism or early liver or kidney disease can be caught before symptoms are present. Pre-anesthetic screenings are critical in the geriatric patient because most anesthetics are cleared by the liver and/or kidney, and can be life threatening in compromised patients. In a systemically ill patient, bloodwork can be essential in the process of ruling in or ruling out disease and assisting in the narrowing of the differential diagnoses list. It is unusual for bloodwork alone to provide a definitive diagnosis, but combined with the total clinical picture it can be extremely informative. Furthermore, even when bloodwork does not provide a primary diagnosis, it can often provide information about secondary imbalances that can be considered treatable symptoms (such as electrolyte imbalances). For a basic example, a vomiting cat may have low potassium secondary to vomiting and anorexia (not eating). The low potassium may lead to a set of tertiary symptoms, including muscle weakness, tachycardia, or arrhythmia, all of which can be immediately life threatening. In addition, the secondary and tertiary symptoms can mask the underlying cause of vomiting, and make it difficult to tell what the primary problem is."

CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and utilizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This CK enzyme reaction is reversible and thus ATP can be generated from PCr and ADP. In tissues and cells that consume ATP rapidly, especially skeletal muscle, but also brain, photoreceptor cells of the retina, hair cells of the inner ear, spermatozoa and smooth muscle, PCr serves as an energy reservoir for the rapid buffering and regeneration of ATP in situ, as well as for intracellular energy transport by the PCr shuttle or circuit. [ 2] Thus creatine kinase is an important enzyme in such tissues. [ 3]Clinically, creatine kinase is assayed in blood tests as a marker of damage of CK-rich tissue such as in myocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), muscular dystrophy, autoimmune myositides, and acute kidney injury.

"text": "Causes of Elevated Cardiac Enzymesby NIYA JONES Aug. 14, 2017When a heart attack or other condition damages heart muscle, a variety of proteins are released into the bloodstream including cardiac enzymes. Several cardiac enzymes can be measured by blood tests to help diagnose a heart attack. These include creatine kinase (CK) and a subtype of this enzyme called CK-MB. CK is found in the heart, skeletal muscle and brain, but CK-MB is found almost exclusively in the heart. For many years, CK and CK-MB testing was used to diagnose heart attacks. More recently, these tests have been largely replaced by measuring another protein called troponin. Troponin is most often indicative of heart muscle damage, whereas elevations in CK and CK-MB are associated with a host of other conditions.

"text": "Medical Health Tests Questions Asked Blood Tests What is the significance of a slightly elevated creatine kinase blood test presumed not cardiac related? May 8, 2013Tweet Creatine kinase is an enzyme that is present in all the muscles of the body and is a catalyst in the energy conversion process. Creatine kinase used in the body are of two types - for the muscles and for the brain. Any testing to check their levels will therefore have to factor in this difference and most will have a CKM or CKB test. Elevated levels of the enzyme, or any levels of it, is usually the first test for cardiac problems. This happens especially if they are corroborated with some other tests like the alanine transaminase test, which is actually a liver function test as well. Since this is a crucial enzyme in the energy conversion process, if it is present in the blood, where it shouldn't be, it is a sign of the breakdown of muscle or dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy can be because of a variety of reasons. There are some genetic reasons of dystrophy like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and its related conditions that are actually genetic in cause. This condition causes progressive degradation of the muscle due a high level of some molecules in the muscular fibers causing the fibers to degrade."

"text": "Review Article Primary Care Evaluation of the Patient with Acute Chest Pain Thomas H. Lee, M. D., and Lee Goldman, M. D., M. P. H. Article Figures/Media47 References 253 Citing Articles Letters The evaluation of acute chest pain remains challenging, despite many insights and innovations over the past two decades. The percentage of patients who present at the emergency department with acute chest pain and are admitted to the hospital may actually be increasing. 1-6 The reasons for clinical caution are familiar to most physicians. Patients with acute myocardial infarction who are mistakenly discharged from the emergency department have short-term mortality rates of about 25 percent, at least twice what would be expected if they were admitted. 7 The legal costs that can result from such cases constitute the largest category of losses from malpractice litigation in the emergency department. 8 However, the admission of a patient with chest pain who is at low risk for acute myocardial infarction costs an average of $2,000 to $5,000 at many institutions and can lead to unnecessary tests and procedures, with their attendant costs and complications. Therefore, with increasing economic pressures on health care, most physicians, health plans, and medical centers are interested in improving the efficiency of care for patients with acute chest pain. Clinicians can use validated decision aids (algorithms designed to improve decision making by physicians) 1-6 and newly identified markers of myocardial injury to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the determination of risk. 9-13 The use of exercise testing soon or immediately after admission to the hospital can help establish the safety of discharge for patients at low risk. 14,15 Special chest-pain units and critical pathways (guidelines describing key steps for care of the patient) can standardize and expedite these evaluations."

The authors provide a systematic approach, including repeat testing after a period of rest, defining higher thresholds over which pursuing a diagnosis is worthwhile, and evaluating for a variety of nonneuromuscular causes. They also outline a workup for neuromuscular causes. Measuring serum creatine kinase (CK) is an important part of the evaluation of patients with muscle weakness or myalgia, and of assessing patients with myopathies or rhabdomyolysis. But elevated CK sometimes is an incidental finding in a patient without muscle-related symptoms or with only minimal nonspecific muscle symptoms (eg, cramps, spasms, fatigue) that do not significantly interfere with activities of daily living. This condition is sometimes referred to as “asymptomatic hyper-CK-emia.” Four other muscle enzymes that may also be elevated are aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aldolase."

Damaged muscles release enzymes, such as creatine kinase (CK), into your blood. In a person who hasn't had a traumatic injury, high blood levels of CK suggest a muscle disease — such as muscular dystrophy. Electromyography. An electrode needle is inserted into the muscle to be tested. Electrical activity is measured as you relax and as you gently tighten the muscle. Changes in the pattern of electrical activity can confirm a muscle disease. Genetic testing. Blood samples can be examined for mutations in some of the genes that cause different types of muscular dystrophy."

A cladogram is not, however, an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed; many evolutionary trees can be inferred from a single cladogram. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] A cladogram uses lines that branch off in different directions ending at a clade, a group of organisms with a last common ancestor. There are many shapes of cladograms but they all have lines that branch off from other lines. The lines can be traced back to where they branch off. These branching off points represent a hypothetical ancestor (not an actual entity) which can be inferred to exhibit the traits shared among the terminal taxa above it. [ 4] [6] This hypothetical ancestor might then provide clues about the order of evolution of various features, adaptation, and other evolutionary narratives about ancestors. Although traditionally such cladograms were generated largely on the basis of morphological characters, DNA and RNA sequencing data and computational phylogenetics are now very commonly used in the generation of cladograms, either on their own or in combination with morphology.

"text": "\"BIO 280: Evolutionary Biology Activity: Introduction to Cladistics Systematics is the field of inquiry by which biologists seek to organize what they think they know about patterns of diversity. Systematics includes: (1) taxonomy, the identification and naming of organisms, (2) phylogenetic reconstruction, the formation of hypotheses about organisms' evolutionary relationships, and (3) classification, the ranking or grouping of organisms according to their supposed evolutionary relationships. Ideally, all members of such a group should descend from a single ancestral form. In other words, each group should be monophyletic. Thus, constructing a good phylogeny depends on recognizing homologies, features that have common ancestry. In the last thirty years or so, biologists have accepted cladistics, a.k.a. phylogenetic systematics, as one approach to phylogenetic recostruction. Cladistics uses recency of common ancestry as the only criterion of evolutionary relatedness. A cladogram is constructed according to the occurrence of shared derived characters within a lineage. Derived characters are evolutionary innovations or novelties-- features that appear for the first time within a lineage and are calledsynapomorphies."

For more than two thousand years, humans have been trying to organize this great diversity of life. The classification system introduced by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in the early 1700s has been the most widely used classification for almost 300 years. Taxonomy Scientific classification is a method by which biologists organize living things into groups. It is also called taxonomy. Groups of organisms in taxonomy are called taxa (singular, taxon).

An equation is derived that quantifies the amount of information obtained by constructing a cladogram from a cladistic data matrix. Given particular conditions, the amount of information obtained increases monotonically with increases of the number of taxa involved and, so, may be used directly as a comparative measure of species richness for sister groups; in general, however, the amount of information obtained is related to the distribution of character states on the cladogram (s) deduced. An example is presented in which clades representing 11 phyla in the animal kingdom are compared in terms of information yielded. The amount of information obtained is consistent for different numbers of taxa and characters used in classifications. Speculative evolutionary explanations are presented for differences of information yielded among the phyla analyzed. Previous article Next article Keywords Cladogram Diversity Hierarchical organization Information theory Key innovation Radiation Systematic classification1. Information theory Any physical system may be considered to retain hierarchically organized structural information in the spatial relationships among the entities of which it is composed. For example, the degree of disorder of a crystal is determined by the quantum states available to the atoms of which it consists, and the degree of disorder of an ideal gas is determined by the volume of space available to its constituent molecules ( Andrews, 1975 ). But, unlike nonliving physical systems, organisms possess instructional information, in addition to structural information; instructional information distinguishes organic from inorganic systems ( Eldredge, 1986 )."

This diagram is made by taking a taxonomic tree, which shows various species and their relatedness, and replacing the species names with the geographic location in which those species are found.

More generally, the idea of some reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species is a strict definition of coevolution.

This assumption might stem from the fact that virtually all organisms interact with other organisms and presumably influence their evolution in some way. But this assumption depends entirely on ones definition of the term Coevolution. The term is usually attributed to Ehrlich and Raven's study of butterflies on plants (1964) but the term was used by others prior to 1964 and the idea was very present in the Origin of Species. Ehrlich and Raven documented the association between species of butterflies and their host plants noting that plants' secondary compounds (noxious compounds produced by the plant) determined the usage of certain plants by butterflies. The implication was that the diversity of plants and their \"\"poisonous\"\" secondary compounds contributed to the generation of diversity of butterfly species.

Cladistics attempts to do for the entire history of life what genealogy does for the history of human families: to disentangle the relationships between all living beings. But while genealogy focuses on detailed lineages of ancestry and descent, cladograms focus on identifying the common ancestry of related groups. This cladogram represents the archosaurs, the common ancestors of crocodilians, birds, and all their descendants. Cladogram Questions and Segments Cladograms depend on two main scientific ideas. The first is that time flows in one direction only. The cladogram represents this by moving strictly from left to right. Thus, common ancestors of related groups must arise prior to these descendants in time, just as in genealogy parents arise before their children. Just as parents cannot inherit characteristics from their children, an hypothesis of ancestry requires that the “ancestor”; occurred earlier in time than its first “descendants.” The second idea is that life forms are closely related if they share new features, feathers for instance; that is, characteristics that first appeared in an ancestor common to them both."

"text": "\"Make a clean breast of it What's the meaning of the phrase 'Make a clean breast of it'? To make a full disclosure; to confess. What's the origin of the phrase 'Make a clean breast of it'? The Oxford English Dictionary defines the noun breast as 'the two soft protuberances situated on the thorax in females'. The meaning used in 'make a clean breast of it' is an earlier and less literal one. The 'breast' there is the seat of the one's emotions and secrets; one's 'heart'. To disclose this openly was to clean one's heart of impurity. Any mention of breasts now is likely to be a reference to the 'soft protuberances' - we are more liable these days to 'get something off our chest'. ' Make a clean breast of it' is known since the 18th century and is cited by Cameron in The Scots Magazine, 1752:\"\"He pressed him... to make a clean breast, and tell him all. \"\" The phrase parallels the later, 19th century American ' come clean '."

"text": "\"Colostrum During pregnancy your body starts creating colostrum as your breasts prepare to nurse your unborn baby. Some women begin leaking colostrum weeks or months before delivery. For first time moms who are unaware of what this is it can be a bit frightening and worrisome until they talk to their doctor or midwife who assure them it is normal. First time moms may start leaking colostrum during the third trimester, while previous mothers may start leaking as early as the second trimester. Colostrum is a thick and sticky, yellow to orange colored milk that is created by your breasts to give your baby the nutrition he needs immediately after birth. It is low in fat, high in carbohydrates and has a laxative effect on the baby which helps him pass the first meconium stools that are sitting in his intestines. This also helps get rid of the bile and helps lessen the chance of jaundice in your newborn. Not only does it provide nutrition, but also contains cells that act as agents in protecting your newborn against germs. The concentration of immune factors is much higher in the colostrum than it is in the later mature milk that your baby will receive when your milk comes in. It is important if you plan on to nursing to nurse frequently and often during the first few days of your babies life so that your baby not only gets all the colostrum and antibodies he needs, but also so that your milk comes in strong."

Lumpectomy Results When Should Someone Seek Medical Care After a Lumpectomy? What Is a Lumpectomy? Readers Comments 8 Share Your Story Lumpectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a suspected malignant (cancerous) tumor or other abnormal tissue and a small portion of the surrounding breast tissue. This tissue is then tested to determine if it contains cancerous cells. A number of lymph nodes may also be removed to test them for cancerous cells ( sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection). If cancerous cells are discovered in the tissue sample or nodes, additional surgery or treatment may be necessary. Women who undergo a lumpectomy normally receive radiation therapy (RT) for about six weeks following the procedure to kill any cancer cells that may have been missed with the removal of the tumor. Lumpectomy is also referred to as partial mastectomy, wedge resection, breast-sparing therapy, breast-conserving therapy, breast-conserving surgery, excision biopsy, tylectomy, segmental excision, and quadrantectomy."

One thing to remember with bulldogs, and especially so with newborn puppies, there is no \"\"always\"\" or \"\"never\"\". It is important to have a good mentor/breeder and vet to work with, because there are so many things that can come up. Anyone that says they have never had a particular problem just hasn't been around long enough. The longer you have been in the dogs, and the more litters you have, you are always learning something new and different. That is part of the benefits of belonging to a club and knowing other Bulldoggers. What might work for one might not work for another, but this is how you learn. The most critical period of a dog's life is during the first week. The early care and environment of the newborn puppy are of the utmost importance. Early causes of death can usually be attributed to difficult whelping, congenital or genetic defects, environmental factors (i.e., too cool or drafty), carelessness of the dam, infection, viruses, toxic milk or insufficient nourishment."

"text": "\"With Health Insurance: Copays + 10%-50% Coinsurance Without Health Insurance: $15,000-$50,000+E-mail Post Tweet Breast cancer treatment usually involves surgery -- a lumpectomy or mastectomy -- sometimes followed by chemotherapy, radiation or other treatments. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for breast cancer treatment typically consist of doctor visit, lab and prescription drug copays as well as coinsurance of 10%-50% for surgery and other procedures, which can easily reach the yearly out-of-pocket maximum. Breast cancer treatment typically is covered by health insurance, although some plans might not cover individual drugs or treatments. For patients not covered by health insurance, breast cancer treatment typically costs $15,000-$50,000 or more for a mastectomy or $17,000 to $35,000 or more for a lumpectomy followed by radiation. Chemotherapy can cost about $10,000-$100,000 or more, depending on the drugs, the method of administration and the length or number of treatments. For example, women on a Breast Cancer.org forum [ 1] report chemotherapy costs of $7,000-$40,000 per treatment. Depending on the individual case and the type and number of treatments needed, the total cost of breast cancer treatment, on average, can reach $100,000 -- or, in advanced cases, $300,000 or more. In a Breast Cancer.org forum [ 2] , patients discuss total costs of their breast cancer treatment. For example, a study [ 3] published in BMC Cancer found that the average total cost of care over a mean follow-up of 532 days was about $128,500 for women with metastatic breast cancer receiving chemotherapy as their primary treatment. This includes the cost of the chemotherapy drugs, additional drugs to help manage side effects, administration of the drugs and medical care for chemotherapy-related complications."

His lungs fill with air in order to supply his body tissues with the oxygen they need. If he has any trouble breathing because of mucus in his lungs, throat, or nose, the doctor or nurse will help him get rid of this. The umbilical cord is cut and clamped or tied off. Some doctors put a dressing on the small piece of cord that remains attached to the baby's navel, some do not. This remnant of cord dries up within a few days and drops off after about a week. In some hospitals, drops are put in the baby's eyes. The medicine is usually either a 1-percent solution of silver nitrate or penicillin. This is a precaution against certain types of eye infection and is required by law in most States. While these things are being attended to, the doctor makes a quick examination of the baby and the nurse starts his record by writing down his birth weight, length, sex, and other important facts about his delivery."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:34Cleaning and Cooking a Wild Turkey By Adam Pritchett, Wildlife Biologist People have been hunting wild turkeys ( Meleagris galapavo) for thousands of years. Early settlers in the southeast learned from Native Americans how to build calls and use them to mimic a female turkey. This assistance helped them become more proficient at killing turkeys. In Alabama, turkey numbers were depleted in the early 1900s. Protection and restocking efforts of the Eastern wild turkey in the 1950s resulted in an explosion of interest in turkey hunting. With over 50,000 turkey hunters in the woods during Alabama’s combined fall and spring seasons, there are plenty of novices who have a lot to learn about turkey hunting. If you’re a kid going on your first turkey hunt with your dad or a teenager wanting to try a new sport or even a father or grandfather whose going turkey hunting for the first time with a friend, here are a few tips on what to do if you get lucky enough to harvest one of those majestic birds.

A Frightening Diagnosis Stage 4 cancer is a condition in which cancer has spread (metastasized) from its original location to other organs in the body. Metastatic cancer is what claimed the life of Elizabeth Edwards nearly four years after it was first diagnosed. And therein lies an important reality: women with metastatic cancer (“mets”) may die quickly after being diagnosed; alternatively, they may live for years. Because there is no “cure” for mets, many in this group of women have come to feel that they are the “cast-offs” in the cancer community. They feel that their “incurable” condition generates anxiety in others — including other cancer patients — and that they are therefore avoided. Several have communicated to me that they are excluded from regular cancer support groups because their presence would “discourage” or “depress” other cancer patients. Cancer Treatment There is no doubt that medicine has made significant advances in the past two decades when it comes to diagnosis and treatment, especially of early-stage cancers, including breast cancer. Today, for localized tumors that have not spread (Stage 1), 90 percent of patients will live another five years, and half will live more than 10 years. In about six percent to 10 percent of all breast cancer patients, the cancer has already spread to a second location by the time it is diagnosed (Stage 2)."

"text": "Liquid and soft diets are recommended in many situations, including some types of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), surgery involving the mouth or gastrointestinal tract, and pain from newly adjusted braces. Liquid diets contain no solid foods. A Clear Liquid Diet consists of transparent liquids and no opaque liquids or smoothed solids. ( e.g. meat or vegetable broth, bouillon, clear fruit juices, clear fruit ices, popsicles, clear gelatin desserts, clear carbonated drinks, hard candies, and black tea or coffee) A Full Liquid Diet consists of smooth liquids that can contain transparent and opaque liquids and blended liquid foods. It includes milk, milkshakes, ice cream, pudding, strained cream soups, fruit nectar with pulp, smooth cooked cereals such as oatmeal and cream of wheat, butter, and honey. In some cases, a full liquid diet may also include other foods that have been thinned and blended with liquids such as milk, meat or vegetable broth, or fruit or vegetable juice. A Soft Diet includes foods that are solid but still soft and do not requiring crushing, cracking, or chewing. A soft diet includes all the Clear and Full Liquid Diets, plus rice, pasta, cooker cereals, mashed potatoes, tofu, yogurt, ground meats, soft fish, bananas, peaches, applesauce, soup, creamed or blended vegetables, and soft desserts. A Dysphagia Diet is a mixture of foods, drinks, and actions to improve the chewing and swallowing of adequate amounts of food for full nutrition and hydration for patients suffering from dysphagia. Concerns for dysphagia patients included malnutrition, dehydration, and food and liquid getting in the lungs."

"text": "\"Gastric bypass diet: What to eat after the surgery By Mayo Clinic Staff Definition A gastric bypass diet is for people who are recovering from gastric bypass surgery to help them heal and change their eating habits. Gastric bypass surgery is one of several weight-loss surgeries currently performed. The operation itself has undergone several modifications over the years. The procedure in use today is called the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It shouldn't be confused with other weight-loss surgeries, such as the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, which is a more aggressive surgery. Your doctor or a registered dietitian will talk with you about the diet you'll need to follow after surgery, explaining what types of food and how much you can eat at each meal. Closely following your gastric bypass diet can help you lose weight safely. Purpose The gastric bypass diet has several purposes: To allow your stomach to heal without being stretched by the food you eat To get you used to eating the smaller amounts of food that your smaller stomach can comfortably and safely digest To help you lose weight and avoid gaining weight To avoid side effects and complications from the surgery Diet details Diet recommendations after gastric bypass surgery vary depending on where the surgery is performed and your individual situation. A gastric bypass diet typically follows a staged approach to help you ease back into eating solid foods as you recover. How quickly you move from one step to the next depends on how fast your body heals and adjusts to the change in eating patterns."

"text": "Colonoscopy Diet Prep for Diabeticsby MEG BRANNAGAN Aug. 14, 2017Before having a colonoscopy, a diet prep is necessary to clear the bowel of any waste, which allows the physician to see all of the internal structures without any obstructions. If the diet prep is not done correctly, some lesions or polyps could be missed during the colonoscopy. A diet prep is always done in combination with another type of bowel prep, such as a cleansing solution; it is not performed as the sole method of clearing the bowel before colonoscopy. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Identification A colonoscopy diet prep involves following a clear liquid diet for a prescribed time before the procedure. Depending on physician orders, this may be one to two days before the colonoscopy. Changing the diet from solid foods to clear liquids may affect blood glucose levels among diabetics, potentially causing hypoglycemia. If you have diabetes and you are taking a bowel prep before a colonoscopy, you may need to monitor your blood sugar levels more frequently and watch for the signs of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia Check with your doctor about how many carbohydrates you should be taking in each day during your diet prep if you have diabetes. It may be necessary to have some sweetened drinks or glucose tablets on hand in case you develop symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as shaking, sweating, lightheadedness or extreme hunger. The Wolfson Unit for Endoscopy recommends adding 10 g of carbohydrates to bring your blood sugar back to normal levels if you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia."

"text": "What is the normal output for a stoma? Normal output depends on which type of stoma you have: colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy. Like all output, it can depend on diet, liquid intake etc. For all types of stoma, it is important to drink plenty of fluids, about 6 cups of liquid a day (8-10 if you have an ileostomy). This will help keep your output stable and healthy. Normal output for a colostomy The colon usually absorbs water from the waste as it moves along towards the rectum, so the consistency of output will depend on where your stoma is sited: the further along the colon, the thicker the faeces coming out of the stoma will be. The waste passed out from a colostomy is usually fairly firm, so a ‘closed’ or non-drainable stoma bag is used. The bag is removed and replaced with a new one once or twice a day or as required. However, if the waste is very liquid (and therefore in greater quantities), some colostomates wear a drainable stoma bag fastened shut at the bottom. The bag can be unfastened and emptied as often as necessary during the day."

"text": "\"Cancer Colon Cancer Diagnosis How to Properly Prepare for a Colonoscopy The cleaner the colon, the better By Julie Wilkinson, BSN, RNUpdated December 15, 2017Share Pin Email Print Hero Images / Getty Images Preparing for a colonoscopy may be the most dreaded component of this invaluable screening test, but it's extremely important in order for the procedure to be effective. Proper colonoscopy preparation makes your colon squeaky clean, allowing the doctor to visualize the inner lining. Leftover stool or fluids can camouflage a tiny polyp or a section of irregular flat tissue within the colon. The cleaner your colon is, the better your doctor will be able to see. Preparing for Your Colonoscopy You may be dreading the preparation for a colonoscopy because you'll have to spend the majority of it in or near the bathroom evacuating your bowels. The prep consists of taking laxatives and substances that force a bowel movement (or many of them). If you don't follow the prep instructions, there's a chance your test will be canceled. Let your doctor know right away if you cannot complete the prep so you can avoid no-show charges if your colonoscopy is canceled, or in case you'll have to have another one. In some cases, there's even a chance that the leftover stool may be confused for unhealthy tissue. Every doctor orders a slightly different version of the colonoscopy prep, which will vary according to his or her preferences and your health."

Read on for more detailed information in the event your doctor puts you on this protocol. What is a Clear Liquid Diet? If you were ordered to consume only liquids, would you know what foods are included in a clear liquid diet? Though it doesn’t sound appetizing, a person can easily survive on this diet for a short period of time with no ill effects. These diets are used after surgeries, during certain digestive disorders and to prepare for tests and procedures, like a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. Certain type of x-rays and imaging tests may also require that food is absent from the stomach and intestines as well. A clear liquid diet is often suggested when a person is suffering from a form of gastritis or gastroenteritis. Severe vomiting and diarrhea leads to a loss of fluids in the body and causes dehydration; this is where the clear liquids can help to replace fluids, but is easy on the stomach. A clear liquid diet consists of liquids that are easily digested and leave no residue in the digestive tract."

A clear liquid diet is often prescribed: To prepare the bowel for a gastrointestinal procedure such as sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, some x-rays, or for surgery.

It is the most common sign of an intestinal disease. Diarrhea can be classified as acute or chronic, depending on its duration. Acute diarrhea comes on suddenly and is finished in a short period. Chronic diarrhea often comes on gradually and persists for three weeks or longer, or has an episodic pattern of recurrence. Chronic diarrhea requires veterinary investigation. Food in the small intestine takes about 8 hours to reach the colon. During that time, the bulk of the food and 80 percent of the water is absorbed. The colon concentrates the remainder.

With all the reporting we do on space-age medical developments, it's sobering to remember that plenty of current medical procedures seem downright unpleasant. Take, for instance, the humble colonoscopy. Not only is it horribly unseemly to have to submit to surgical probing with pants down, but that probing comes on the heels of a day of drinking massive quantities of the gackiest of liquids and then suffering bout after bout of induced diarrhea. No wonder about a third of the target population avoids the ordeal entirely. 1 Now, though, the procedure might become a little less dreadful if gastroenterologists heed results of a recent study presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week conference in San Diego. 2 The study, led by Dr. Jason Samarasena of the University of California at Irvine, followed 83 patients in a VA hospital who underwent colonoscopies. Frequently, colonoscopy preparation begins about a week before the surgeon does his thing. At that time, patients are instructed to eliminate raw fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. A day or two before, they must follow a strictly liquid diet, but this is no happy juice fast."

"text": "Iran and Islam Share Twitter Facebook Google+Juan Cole Iran is a theocracy that mixes religion and state more thoroughly than any other country in the world. Shiite Islam gives a special place to its clerics and demands blind obedience to their rulings on religious law. The commemoration of the martyrdom of holy figures is central to Shiite religious sensibilities and plays out in Iran’s populist politics. Since 1979, the Islamic Republic has imposed a strongly patriarchal order, but pious women have found ways to assert themselves in society and education. The contemporary Shiite revival has given Iran influence in the Muslim world and especially among other Shiite communities in the Arab world and South Asia, challenging the Sunni secular nationalists and traditional monarchies. Overview The 1979 revolution unseated the last dynasty to rule Iran from the Peacock Throne. But it also represented a revolution within Shiism, which had traditionally shunned direct clerical involvement in politics. Revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini introduced the idea of clerical supervision of a modern republican state that has all three standard branches of government—the executive, legislature and judiciary. Iran is today the world’s only clerically-ruled government. Shiite Islam is not just the religion of state, but also forms the framework for a theocracy."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the office in Christian churches. For other uses, see Deacon (disambiguation). Saint Stephen, one of the first seven deacons in the Christian Church, holding a Gospel Book. Painting by Giacomo Cavedone in A. D. 1601. A deacon is a member of the diaconate, an office in Christian churches that is generally associated with service of some kind, but which varies among theological and denominational traditions. In many traditions the diaconate is a clerical office; in others it is for laity. Some Christian churches, such as the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Anglican church view the diaconate as part of the clerical state. The word deacon is derived from the Greek word diákonos (διάκονος), [1] which is a standard ancient Greek word meaning \"\"servant\"\", \"\"waiting-man\"\", \"\"minister\"\", or \"\"messenger\"\". [ 2] One commonly promulgated speculation as to its etymology is that it literally means \"\"through the dust\"\", referring to the dust raised by the busy servant or messenger. [ 3]It is generally assumed that the office of deacon originated in the selection of seven men by the apostles, among them Stephen, to assist with the charitable work of the early church as recorded in Acts 6.

"text": "\"THE BUSINESS BOOMER – #3 – Witnessing The Demise Of A Mail Order Icon – Aldens, Inc. Posted on February 1, 2012 by Doug's Boomer Rants6 Votes You Boomers will likely remember the old Chicago-based mail order company, Aldens, Inc. At the time of it’s closing in the early 1980’s it had been in operation since the turn of the last century; well over 90 years. It was one of the big mail order companies of its day.. along with Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards ; founded in 1899 as the Chicago Mail Order Millinary (just CMO after 1906). Chicago, being an established transportation hub in the center of the country since the late 1800’s, became the home for the mail order industry, which catered to the farming communities. Their huge catalogs became common sights around most every home (and outhouse) in rural America. Aldens former home at 5000 W. Roosevelt Rd. as it appears today Aldens was located in a 50’s style building at the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Cicero Avenue ; within the shadow of the “famous” Western Electric Hawthorne Works (if you had taken business school you’ll remember that the first experiments in production time studies were conducted here.. and the introduction of the term “ Hawthorne Effect “). The building was a combination of huge warehouse space along with three floors of wide open office space. In those days the rank-in-file clerical staff did not have the cubicle partitions in use in offices today but rather were just desks within the large space, separated by what seemed like miles of file cabinets. After I closed my store and moved back to Chicago from Rockford, IL, 75 miles northwest of the city, I answered an ad for a customer service supervisor. This would have been about 1980."

It's unique, in that it really doesn't translate in any direct way to other business classification systems like the SIC codes. Like many aspects of Workers Compensation insurance, there can be significant variation in classification details from one state to another, although there is a considerable degree of uniformity. This can be deceptive, because it's difficult to determine what aspects of classifications rules might differ in a particular state. Who Writes The Classification Rules? Short answer: rating bureaus. Which kind of begs the question, what the heck is a rating bureau? A rating bureau is a private organization established and funded by insurance companies. These rating bureaus are recognized and authorized by state insurance regulations but the rating bureaus are not state agencies. The details of these classification codes are created by these Rating Bureaus, of which the best known may be the National Council on Compensation Insurance, or NCCI."

Those who want to marry a hot middle class chick and settle in life can certain consider this job. Those who would love loads of pressure and responsibility without necessarily having equathing pay also can consider it. And what not? Those who likes to be posted in rural places and would like to have a leased accommodation wherever they go can consider it And finally, those who are willing to sit in the office till 9–10 pm without necessarily knowing why they are sitting there, just because your boss would like your company, can certainly consider this lucrative job.

Originally in Roman law, an interlocutory edict of the praetor, especially in matter affecting the right of possession; it still preserves this meaning in both Roman and canon law. In present ecelesiastical use the word denotes, in general, a prohibition. In addition to the definite meaning it has when referring to the object of this article, the term is often loosely employed in a wider and rather untechnical sense. We speak of a priest, a church, or a practice of devotion being interdicted, to denote a suspended priest, one who either by canon law or by the stricture of his ordinary is forbidden to exercise his sacerdotal functions, a church building that has been secularized, or one in which Divine service is temporarily suspended, because the edifice has incurred \"\"pollution\"\" or lost its consecration, finally, extraordinary practices of devotion are said to be interdicted. But, strictly speaking, interdict is applied only to persons and churches affected by the penal measure or censure called \"\"interdict\"\", and it is exclusively in this sense of the word that the subject is treated here. After explaining its nature and effects we shall mention the interdicts in force by common canonical law. An interdict is a censure, or prohibition, excluding the faithful from participation in certain holy things. These holy things are all those pertaining to Christian worship, and are divided into three classes:the Divine offices, in other words the Liturgy, and in general all acts performed by clerics as such, and having reference to worshipthe sacraments, excepting private administrations of those that are of necessity;ecclesiastical burial, including all funeral services."

But clerks don’t work alone; they rely on many different types of equipment to be successful. Without these machines, clerical workers would find it exceedingly difficult to perform the essential functions of their jobs. Large Office Equipment Clerical workers must be knowledgeable in the proper operation of office machines such as printers, copiers and fax machines, as well as how to run disposal equipment such as paper and card shredders safely. This not only includes awareness of how to perform these machines’ basic functions, but also how to carry out basic maintenance such as replacing paper, toner and ink, as well as troubleshooting common problems such as paper jams. Desktop Office Equipment Clerical workers also make use of various pieces of smaller office machinery at their desks to carry out their day-to-day duties. Labeling machines allow clerks to tag and organize documents, files and other essential office items more neatly and efficiently than they can writing things out by hand. Postage scales and meters help office clerks accurately weigh outgoing mail, print the mailing information on the envelope or label and apply the proper postage amount. Handheld organizers such as PDAs let clerks keep track of upcoming meetings, deadlines and daily to-dos. As with large office equipment, the most successful office clerks know basic maintenance and troubleshooting of these machines."

Cost Accounting Standards The Cost Accounting Standards Board (CASB), an independent, legislatively established board within the executive branch of the federal government, provides guidelines on cost accounting practices, referred to as Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). In 1994, CASB imposed four standards on universities receiving significant awards from federal agencies. In 1996, OMB Circular A-21 was revised to include the four CAS standards, and these standards became applicable to all types of federal awards. CASB imposed these standards for the following reasons: To prevent the charging of unallowable costs to federal awards To standardize university costing practices To standardize requirements for recipients of federal funds Find out more about Cost Accounting Standards. Disclosure statements (DS-2)A-21 requires that each university disclose in writing its cost accounting practices. UCSD submitted the DS-2 to the federal government in 1996.

"text": "\"Does Medicare Cover Dental? Learn if Medicare covers dental healthby Amy De Vore+ on Jun 15, 2015 | 11 Comments Tweet Dental care is one of those things that we all need to take care of but often wait too long to address - some of us more than others :). Since root canals and bridges and other major services can be pricey, many of our clients want to know if Medicare covers any of the costs of routine dental care. Does Medicare Cover Dental? Original Medicare Part A and B does not cover routine dental visits and procedures such as filling, tooth extractions or dentures. Medicare can cover some expenses for dentistry-related hospitalizations. Most individuals on Medicare select a separate dental plan to address their regular dental needs. Does Medigap Cover Dental? While Medigap plans can cover your Original Medicare deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for dentistry-related hospitalization, generally Medigap does NOT cover dental. Medigap does offer stand-alone dental plans within the application as an additional product for purchase."

"text": "Last updated: Dec 11, 2017 Dan Shewan 55 Ad Words Tips“How much does Google Ad Words cost?”It’s a reasonable question, and one we hear all the time, especially from newcomers to paid search. After all, those new to PPC are probably most interested in how much they’ll be expected to shell out to advertise on Google, and whether they can even afford it!Unfortunately, there’s no easy, one-size-fits-all answer. The most common (and infuriating) answer is, “It depends. ”The cost of Ad Words depends on several variables. In this post, I’ll explain how these variables will impact your ad spend, and demystify the concepts you’ll need to understand in order to set a realistic budget for your ad campaigns (and determine if you should use Ad Words at all). Here's a high-level, TL;DR preview of what you'll learn in more detail in this guide: Google Ad Words is based on an auction system that rewards businesses who have high-quality ad campaigns with lower costs and better ad placement. You can exercise tight control over how your Ad Words budget is spent using tactics like ad scheduling, geotargeting, and device targeting. The average cost per click in Google Ad Words is between $1 and $2 on the search network. The average CPC on the Display Network is under $1. The most expensive keywords in Ad Words and Bing Ads cost $50 or more per click."

If you’re one of the 2 million advertisers who decided to start advertising on Facebook in the past 2 years, you may have found that it can be easy to get overwhelmed on the new platform. Facebook has nearly countless ad targeting options to explore, and performance differs for every client. Just like on Ad Words, performance can differ across different industries on Facebook, so what numbers should you be looking to beat in your industry? We dug into our data to find out! Check out the Facebook ad performance benchmarks our clients are seeing, including: Average Click-Through Rate (CTR) on Facebook by industry Average Cost per Click (CPC) on Facebook by industry Average Conversion Rate (CVR) on Facebook by industry Average Cost per Action (CPA) on Facebook by industry You’ll find averages across these Facebook metrics for eighteen industries: Apparel, Auto, B2B, Beauty, Consumer Services, Education, Employment & Job Training, Finance & Insurance, Fitness, Home Improvement, Healthcare, Industrial Services, Legal, Real Estate, Retail, Technology, and Travel & Hospitality. Let’s dig in!Average Click-Through Rate on Facebook What's a good click-through rate on Facebook ads? Legal advertisers may struggle with low click-through rates on the SERP, but they’re lucky to have the highest CTRs on Facebook (1.61%). No doubt, it can be hard to impress the prospective client looking for a lawyer when your ad is one among seven ads on the SERP, but a lawyer’s high-value offer and call to action certainly stands out more when it’s standing alone on a prospect’s social feed. Other advertisers with high CTRs are in the retail (1.59%), apparel (1.24%), beauty (1.16%), and fitness (1.01%) industries."

Huge variations in cost depending on where you go and where you live. But, I would simply get a copy of those x-rays or request the x-rays be reviewed by a radiologist! You may get a ton of information and guidance simply from a specialist reviewing the x-rays for your regular doctor!

"text": "\"Cost Per Action (CPA): How to Lower Your CPA in Ad Words Cost per action, or CPA – sometimes referred to as cost per acquisition – is a metric that measures how much your business pays in order to attain a conversion. Generally, your CPA will be higher than your cost per click, or CPC, because not everyone who clicks your ad will go on to complete your desired action, whether it’s making a purchase or filling out a form to become a lead. Cost per action takes into account the number of ad clicks you need before someone converts – in order words, improving your conversion rate will lower your CPA. Along with CPC, your CPA will contribute to your overall Ad Words costs. So, what determines your CPA? Like most things PPC, your CPA is directly affected by your Quality Score, Google’s all-important metric based on the quality of your keywords, ads, and landing pages. In general, the higher your Quality Score, the lower your costs – in fact, for each point your score is above the average Quality Score of 5, your CPA will drop about 16%. Keeping your Quality Score high and your CPA low can be a huge benefit to your PPC budget over time, giving you the opportunity to buy more exposure in the online advertising space and optimize the number of conversions that come from your ad spend. How Quality Score Affects Cost Per Action It’s well known that Ad Words Quality Score affects your cost per click, but not everyone realizes that Quality Score is every bit as important in determining your cost per conversion. When you plot average CPA against impression-weighted Quality Score, you see a strong correlation: The higher the Quality Score, the lower the cost per action."

Many clinical specialists act in a primary care provider capacity, being the one to examine, diagnose, and prescribe a course of action for their patients. A clinical specialist may work closely with patients or be required to take on more of a managerial and planning role. For example, developing and implementing a new patient treatment center or program would be within the scope of this profession. They may also act as teachers for incoming nurses aspiring to become clinical specialists. A clinical specialist is an advanced practice nurse. Also called a clinical nurse specialist (CNS), a person holding this position has expertise in select types of diseases or particular areas of medicine. In addition to their role as a nurse, they usually perform or assist with managerial duties, training seminars, and research related within their medical areas of focus. A clinical specialist is required to hold a registered nursing ( RN) degree and usually a master’s level degree in nursing as well. Some clinical specialist positions even require a doctorate degree."

Skin cells from the lining of the ear canal seem to get trapped in the middle ear (which doesn't normally contain skin cells). Skin cells, including those that line the ear canal, normally multiply regularly to replace those that have died. Usually these skin cells just flake off. The dead cells are trapped too and build up.

Your doctor may also want to make sure that you're emptying your bladder completely when you urinate. Your doctor will look for clues that might also indicate contributing factors. The work-up will likely include a: Medical history Physical exam, focusing on your abdomen and genitals Urine sample to test for infection, traces of blood or other abnormalities Focused neurological exam that may identify sensory problems or abnormal reflexes Special tests Your doctor may order a simple urodynamic test to assess the function of your bladder and its ability to empty steadily and completely. These tests usually require a referral to a specialist, and may not be necessary to make a diagnosis or begin treatment. Tests include: Measuring urine left in the bladder. This test is important if your bladder doesn't empty completely when you urinate or experience urinary incontinence. Remaining urine (postvoid residual urine) may cause symptoms identical to an overactive bladder. To measure residual urine after you have voided, your doctor may request an ultrasound scan of your bladder or pass a thin tube (catheter) through the urethra and into your bladder to drain and measure the remaining urine. Measuring urine flow rate."

"text": "27 September 2016What does a Clinical Specialist do? Clinical Specialists are a key link in the clinical chain. If you’re organised, outgoing and a top-notch communicator, we could have just the job for you…The role The role of a Clinical Specialist can vary widely depending on the product range, company and healthcare area. As a very basic description, a Clinical Specialist sells medical devices. But selling is not all they do – far from it! The job also involves giving more detailed descriptions of the devices and, in many cases, training medical staff so they can use the products safely and effectively. Image: i Stock This means a good clinical specialist needs to be able to:• Remember complex and accurate information about a range of products • Feel confident enough to demonstrate medical devices • Be patient enough to train medical staff and potential customers – for example, Doctors, Nurses, Gastroenterologists, Anaesthetists, Paediatricians, Radiologists and Orthopaedic Consultants • Give confident presentations and workshops to groups of medical professionals • Answer detailed questions about their specialist area • Explain how a product can fit into a particular clinical practice or setting • Stay up to date with new clinical evaluations of the product and innovations in their specialist field – these then need to be communicated to their customers • Stick to a schedule – overstretched healthcare professionals won’t have time to stay for longer than the agreed meeting time • Keep an eye on competitors so they can focus on their products’ unique selling points • Travel – many roles involve lots of miles on the road with regular overnight and sometimes overseas stays The customers As well as the “sales, demo and training” side of the role which requires a lot of travelling here, there and everywhere, clinical specialists spend a fair bit of time in an office. This is so they can use the time to nurture relationships with their existing customer base and follow up new sales opportunities. The golden rule is to provide a first-class service so that their customers always feel supported and can rely on getting the right products when they need them. Image: i Stock This part of the job requires:• Having second-to-none time-management skills • Maintaining an excellent and up-to-date customer database • Staying on top of emails and phone calls from customers to ensure all their questions and queries are answered • Being available, in some roles, to answer on-call customer queries 24/7 • Arranging and overseeing seamless supply to customers, including training, stock checks and timely deliveries • Working with the in-house sales and marketing team to ensure company-wide sales and profit targets are met • Creating monthly reports and generating ideas for the sales director and senior management team."

To help determine the cause of your knee pain, your doctor might recommend imaging tests such as: X-rays. A small amount of radiation passes through your body in the process of creating X-ray images. This technique visualizes bone well, but it is less effective at viewing soft tissues. CT scans. These combine X-ray images from various angles to create cross-sectional images of internal structures. CT scans can visualize both bone and soft tissues, but the procedure delivers a much higher dose of radiation than do plain X-rays. MRI. Using radio waves and a strong magnetic field, MRIs produce detailed images of bones and soft tissues, such as the knee ligaments and cartilage. But MRIs are much more expensive than X-rays or CT scans."

surgeon Have you found the right surgeon? This may seem a strange question to pose if you are having your operation as an NHS patient as you are normally expected to take what is offered locally. However, via the NHS patient choice initiatives you do have a greater choice, especially when you live in a city where there are a number of surgeons practicing. The decision to have major surgery can often be stressful. Patients interested in any pelvic floor interventions should find a surgeon who is experienced in this type of surgery. When meeting with the surgeon, the patient should consider bringing a friend or family member to take part in the discussion with the surgeon and to help take notes. The private option will enable you to seek a surgeon who is more skilled in the operation you wish to have and for it to fit in more easily with your own time frame. So, you've found the names of several surgeons and you need to decide which one to consult. Here are some pointers to guide you through this decision making process."

The first step is to sit down with a genetic counselor, genetic specialist, or other medical professional to review your family medical history. This will help you find out if there is indication of a BRCA mutation or other genetic condition in your family, your chances for having BRCA or other condition, and what that means for you specifically. The genetic counselor will then inform you as to whether genetic testing is available, how genetic testing is available, and the pros and cons of testing. Your genetic specialist may take your test or refer you to a physician for drawing your blood sample. After payment has been coordinated, a simple blood test will be sent to a lab and you will hear back from your genetic specialist in a few weeks to a month with your results.

"text": "What Does a Medical Coding Specialist Do? Medical coding specialists play an essential role in the business of healthcare. Using alphanumeric diagnosis and procedure codes, they communicate critical information about medical conditions and treatments. Coders translate medical terminology into a standardized format, allowing information to be transmitted accurately and efficiently between healthcare providers and insurance payors. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »Correct coding ensures proper recording of a patient’s medical conditions, verification of the provider’s services, and appropriate reimbursement by payors for those services. Additionally, codes are used to monitor public health threats, such as diabetes or measles outbreaks, to track provider performance and to identify potential areas of financial or medical fraud or abuse within the healthcare industry. When coding is done properly, patients, providers, and payors all benefit. Medical coding specialists rely on their knowledge of anatomy, medical terminology, health conditions, and medications to assign diagnostic and procedural codes for each patient encounter. They must review a patient’s medical record and will, at times, talk to the patient’s healthcare provider or research payor policies to uncover missing information. Medical coding is a dynamic occupation, as evidenced by the health care community’s implementation of the ICD-10 code set as of October 1, 2015."

"text": "Clinical Nurse Specialists What are clinical nurse specialists? Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) are registered nurses (RNs) who have: A master’s or doctoral degree in nursing Extensive nursing knowledge and skills Clinical experience in a specialty area Because the CNS practice is dynamic, competencies for the role will change over time in response to population health needs and evolving practice and health-care environments. Where do clinical nurse specialists work? CNSs work in every aspect of health care across the lifespan, from pediatric to adult long-term care. Kilpatrick et al. ( 2013) found that while most are in acute care, such as inpatient units and hospital-based clinics, CNSs may also work in: Oncology Cardiology Gerontology Mental health 1What kind of health-care services does a clinical nurse specialist provide? The CNS provides many services across the continuum of care for all age groups: Client level Assesses risks and complications Provides direct therapeutic interventions Helps plan and coordinate care Monitors outcomes Advocates for individualized health and social services to meet client needs Practice setting level Leads quality improvement initiatives Helps implement evidence-based practice within teams Supports others to use best practice guidelines Systems level Helps influence healthy public policy Advocates for the use of health promotion and client education What roles do clinical nurse specialists have? CNS’s varied roles can be broken down into five areas: Clinician — providing expert care by conducting detailed assessments, creating care plans and intervening in complex situations Consultant — using expertise in their clinical specialty to support all stakeholders (e.g., regulated nurses, policy makers and other health-care providers) and promote positive client outcomes Educator — educating clients, nurses, students and other health-care providers on the use of evidence-based practice Researcher — ensuring that their practice applies evidence-based care most effectively while being a leader in every aspect of research Leader — promoting the advancement of their speciality and providing clinical leadership as an agent of change in their practice 2What are the benefits of clinical nurse specialists? According to research, the great value CNSs bring to every setting include: Better client and health-system outcomes related to health status, functional status, quality of life, satisfaction of care and cost efficiency Lower hospital admissions Fewer emergency-department visits Shorter lengths of stay resulting in cost savings for institutions Fewer readmissions More innovation (including evidence-based practices) and work at advanced levels of clinical practice 3When did the clinical nurse specialist role begin in Canada? CNSs first appeared in the 1960s following an idea developed in the 1940s to have advanced nursing practice roles in place to meet the complex needs of Canadians after World War II."

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that alters development in females. Women with this condition tend to be shorter than average and are usually unable to conceive a child (infertile) because of an absence of ovarian function. Other features of this condition that can vary among women who have Turner syndrome include: extra skin on the neck (webbed neck), puffiness or swelling (lymphedema) of the hands and feet, skeletal abnormalities, heart defects and kidney problems. This condition occurs in about 1 in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is much more common among pregnancies that do not survive to term (miscarriages and stillbirths)."

The symptoms of molar pregnancy, which may include vaginal bleeding, severe morning sickness, stomach cramps, and high blood pressure, typically begin around the 10th week of pregnancy. Because the embryo does not form or is malformed in molar pregnancies, and because there is a small risk of developing a cancer called choriocarcinoma, a D&C is usually performed.

"text": "A clinometer is a fairly simple instrument which is used to measure the angle of a slope. By using the principles of trigonometry, the height of tall objects can be calculated from the angles measured. A clinometer can easily be made from a large protractor. A narrow piece of wood should be glued to the base of the protractor to act as a sighting line. A weighted plumb line is then fastened to the mid point of the base line of the protractor. To use the clinometer, hold the base (formed by the wooden sight) uppermost, so that the plumb line hangs down vertically (as shown above). Hold the clinometer out at arms length and sight along it, until your eye and your arm make a straight line to the top of the tree. Someone else should then read off the angle made by the plumb line on the protractor (Z). More information and a picture of a clinometer here"

This chapter describes different methods which can be applied in agricultural censuses and surveys, such as sampling (see also Chapter 7 ), interviewing, etc. The period and duration of enumeration is also discussed. There are also references to specific problems, such as mixed cropping, continuous harvesting, shifting cultivation and nomadic livestock. Detailed instructions are given on how to approach holders in order to gain their confidence, collaboration and cooperation. Particularly relevant are the following related topics: Instruction Manuals ( Chapter 11 ), Training Programme ( Chapter 12) and Organization of the Field Work ( Chapter 15 ). Introduction14.1 The agricultural census operation consists of a series of closely-related activities which must be carefully planned in advance. It requires a well-coordinated organization from the planning stage to the dissemination stage. This operation must be able to handle the problems of statistical measurement of various characteristics of the agricultural holding, which is the unit of enumeration, and is generally considered to be much more complex than in other types of censuses and surveys. The agricultural census attempts to survey the entire agricultural economy of a country; therefore, the operation is particularly difficult for developing countries which have limited experience in organizing censuses and surveys."

The most common instruments of this type currently used are compass-clinometers from Suunto or Silva. Compass clinometers are fundamentally just magnetic compasses held with their plane vertical so that a plummet or its equivalent can point to the elevation of the sight line. A better clinometer (I believe) is the Abney hand spirit level or clinometer, where the object sighted and the level bubble can be seen simultaneously, so that the index can be set accurately. An Abney clinometer is shown in the photograph. A spirit level is so-called because it contains alcohol in a tube of large radius, in which the bubble moves to the highest point. Spirit levels are used for accurate surveying, although automatic levels that go back to the principle of the plummet are now frequently found, and are easy to use. I have an inexpensive 5\"\" Abney clinometer made in Japan that was once sold by Brookstone, while they still had cheap, useful things to sell. It is no longer obtainable from Brookstone.

Duties of Conservation Scientists and Foresters Conservation scientists typically do the following: Oversee forestry and conservation activities to ensure compliance with government regulations and habitat protection Negotiate terms and conditions for forest harvesting and for land-use contracts Establish plans for managing forest lands and resources Monitor forest-cleared lands to ensure that they are suitable for future use Work with private landowners, governments, farmers, and others to improve land for forestry purposes, while at the same time protecting the environment Foresters typically do the following: Supervise activities of forest and conservation workers and technicians Choose and prepare sites for new trees, using controlled burning, bulldozers, or herbicides to clear land Monitor the regeneration of forests Direct and participate in forest fire suppression Determine ways to remove timber with minimum environmental damage Conservation scientists manage, improve, and protect the country's natural resources. They work with private landowners and federal, state, and local governments to find ways to use and improve the land while safeguarding the environment. Conservation scientists advise farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers on how they can improve their land for agricultural purposes and to control erosion. Foresters have a wide range of duties, and their responsibilities vary with their employer. Some primary duties of foresters are drawing up plans to regenerate forested lands, monitoring the progress of those lands, and supervising tree harvests. Another duty of a forester is devising plans to keep forests free from disease, harmful insects, and damaging wildfires. Many foresters supervise forest and conservation workers and technicians, directing their work and evaluating their progress. Conservation scientists and foresters evaluate data on forest and soil quality, assessing damage to trees and forest lands caused by fires and logging activities. In addition, they lead activities such as suppressing fires and planting seedlings."

The clinometer only works for measuring height when the observer is standing exactly one \"\"chain\"\" length away from the tree (66’ or 100 links). A “chain” is a unit of measure unique to forestry and dates back to the use of chains to drag felled trees out of the forest.1. To use the clinometer, pinch the brass ring between your thumb and forefinger and look through the black eye piece using only one eye. If possible, the other eye should be looking at the tree. In the eyepiece you will see a black line and a scale. The right side of the scale is the height reading, the left is % slope. You want to read the right side of the scale.a. Tilt your head until the black line is on the base of the tree and read and remember the number where the black line crosses the right hand side of the scale. ("

Being a tree lover myself, secretary of a local Dutch Tree Society, and especially impressed by big and tall trees, I often visit the ENTS website, to see the newest information about tall and big trees. Your recent information about Congaree National Park is very interesting. Apart from the loblolly pine the dominance of several oak species as for size is apparent. In GSMNP this is not the case, apart from some large n. red oaks and a few big tall chestnut and white oaks they do not seem to be among the tallest nor biggest trees in that area. From what I read in some reports on forest history in the eastern USA it seems that oaks, especially white oaks, had a greater dominance in your pre-settlement-forests than nowadays. I still think that they often attained larger diameters and volumes than now in most forests, even GSMNP, can be found. In northwestern Europe there are as you will now relatively few native tree-species because of the influence of the Ice Age. In the south en especially south-east there are more species. The Caucasian region and the north of Iran are in fact special rich regions while the period of glaciation didn't have great influence there."

The race takes the competitors from the alpine terrain of Mount Mansfield down nearly 3,000 vertical feet via Stowe Mountain Resort’s thrilling Toll Road trail, and then links several of the cross country trails through the valley to the town of Stowe. The best equipment for the job is often cross country skis, but telemark skis have proved to be quite effective as well in recent runnings of The Derby. Advertisement Needless to say, each and every one of the Famous Internet Skiers was eager to participate, but unfortunately none of us owned cross country or telemark skis. Since we didn’t want to make fools of ourselves in the actual event, we decided that we would instead run our own private race just before the official race. Whoever completed the course the fastest would win a six-pack of Rock Art Vermonsters. We decided we’d do it the old fashioned way too, and ascend the mountain ourselves rather than take the chairlift. The guide book we picked up insisted that route up the Toll Road was gradual and easy to navigate, but we must have gotten off on the wrong foot or something. From the very beginning we found the route treacherous and extremely difficult to navigate. Needless to say, before too long we were lost."

And the Burj: just how did they arrive at the height of the building as almost exactly 818 meters? By now, you probably have a clue that this article is about simple measuring techniques used in ancient times that still work today.

Mils are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left or right). Mils are also used for comparing shot groupings, or to compare the difficulty of hitting different sized shooting targets at different distances. When using a scope with both mil adjustment and a reticle with mil markings (called a mil/mil scope), the shooter can use the reticle as a \"\"ruler\"\" to count the number of mils a shot was off target which directly translates to the sight adjustment needed to hit the target with a follow up shot. Optics with mil markings in the reticle can also be used to make a range estimation of a known size target, or vice versa to determine a target size if the distance is known, a practice called \"\"milling\"\". Milliradians are generally used for very small angles, which allows for precise mathematical simplifications to more easily calculate back and forth between the angular separation observed in an optic, linear subtension on target and range. In such applications it is useful to use a unit for target size that is a thousandth of the unit for range, for instance by using the metric units millimeters for target size and meters for range. This coincides with the definition of the milliradian where the arc length is defined as 11000 of the radius."

Do you want a magnetic or electronic compass? Magnetic compasses contain a free-spinning compass card, which aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field and points in the direction of magnetic north. Small onboard magnetic fields, caused by ferrous metal (a steel steering wheel or iron engine block), magnets (a speaker or microphone), or current-carrying wires can divert the compass away from magnetic north. This deviation must be corrected by moving the compass away from the local magnetic interference (if possible) or by adjusting small compensating magnets inside the compass (using a process called swinging the compass). For deviations too large for the compensating magnets, usually greater than 20°, a deviation table may need to be created. Electronic fluxgate compasses measure the relative strength of magnetic fields passing through two coils of wire. Using sophisticated electronics, these sensors can deduce the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field. They are still affected by local magnetic fields like steel components and speaker magnets, but they can compensate electronically for those fields that do not change in strength or location. One advantage of electronic compasses is that their sensors may be mounted remotely in many cases."

Mesenteric venous thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the major veins that drain blood from your intestines. This condition is rare, but it can lead to life-threatening complications without prompt treatment. There are three veins that carry blood from the intestines:the superior mesenteric veinthe inferior mesenteric veinthe splenic vein These veins deliver nutrient-rich blood to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. A clot in any of these veins blocks blood flow to the intestines, which can lead to damage and tissue death. Symptoms Symptoms of Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis The symptoms of mesenteric venous thrombosis typically include abdominal pain (especially after eating), bloating, and diarrhea. Additional symptoms include:vomitingfeverbloody stools Make an appointment with your doctor if you repeatedly experience abdominal pain or any of these symptoms. Delaying treatment can lead to serious complications. Causes Causes of Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis Certain digestive diseases that cause swelling of the tissues surrounding the intestines can increase your risk of developing mesenteric venous thrombosis. These conditions include:injury to your abdomengenetic disorders that make your blood more prone to clotting, such as Factor V Leiden thrombophilia, which is an inherited clotting disorderabdominal infections, such as appendicitisinflammatory bowel diseases, such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s diseaseinflammation of the pancreas, which is called pancreatitisliver disease and cirrhosis, which is scarring of the livercancers of the digestive system It can also be caused by trauma to the abdomen or cancers of the digestive system."

A history like this in yourself or a family member may be indicative of an underlying thrombophilia. Thrombophilia is a term that describes a state in which the blood has an increased tendency to clot. People can have this increased tendency because they (1) have one or more inherited (genetic) risk factors, (2) have developed a chronic condition that puts them at increased risk, such as obesity, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or the persistence of certain antibodies (antiphospholipid antibodies), or (3) have a temporary condition that leads to an increased clotting tendency, such as recent surgery, trauma, a cast, prolonged immobility, pregnancy, or the use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy. The purpose of this Cardiology Patient Page is to provide more information about the prothrombin mutation, which is the second most common cause of hereditary thrombophilia. Understanding the Blood Clotting Process Normally, there is a fine balance in the body which ensures that there is not too much bleeding or blood clotting. If this balance is disrupted, a blood clot may occur. Throughout the course of a normal day, the blood vessels sustain many minor injuries of which you are not aware. In response, the body naturally triggers the “clotting cascade”—a sequence of events that allows the blood cells (platelets) and clotting proteins to respond to the site of the injury to clog up the vessel disruption and stop you from bleeding, and then to repair it. Although the activation of this clotting process occurs normally, a problem may arise in a person with thrombophilia."

"text": "You Are Here: Home → Medical Encyclopedia → Blood clots Blood clots Blood clots are clumps that occur when blood hardens from a liquid to a solid. A blood clot that forms inside one of your veins or arteries is called a thrombus. A thrombus may also form in your heart. A thrombus that breaks loose and travels from one location in the body to another is called an embolus. A thrombus or embolus can partly or completely block the flow of blood in a blood vessel. A blockage in an artery may prevent oxygen from reaching the tissues in that area. This is called ischemia. If ischemia is not treated promptly, it can lead to tissue damage or death. A blockage in the vein will often cause fluid buildup and swelling. Causes Situations in which a blood clot is more likely to form in veins include: Being on long-term bed rest Crossing your legs for long periods when sitting, or sitting for long periods, such as in a plane or car During and after pregnancy Taking birth control pills or estrogen hormones (especially in women who smoke)Long-term use of an intravenous catheter After surgery Blood clots are also more likely to form after an injury."

This destructive process occurs due to the presence of defective surface proteins on the red blood cell, which normally function to inhibit such immune reactions. Since the complement cascade attacks the red blood cells within the blood vessels of the circulatory system, the red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) is considered an intravascular hemolytic anemia. Other key features of the disease, such as the high incidence of blood clot formation, are incompletely understood. [ 2]PNH is the only hemolytic anemia caused by an acquired (rather than inherited) intrinsic defect in the cell membrane (deficiency of glycophosphatidylinositol leading to the absence of protective proteins on the membrane). [ 3] It may develop on its own (\"\"primary PNH\"\") or in the context of other bone marrow disorders such as aplastic anemia (\"\"secondary PNH\"\"). Only a minority of affected people (26%) have the telltale red urine in the morning that originally gave the condition its name. [ 4]Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is the only cure, but has significant rates of additional medical problems and death. [ 5] The monoclonal antibody eculizumab reduces the need for blood transfusions and improves quality of life for those affected by PNH.

"text": "Protein C Deficiency What is Protein C? Protein C is a protein in our blood stream, which prevents blood from clotting too much. It’s a sort of police protein that keeps our clotting in check. If protein C levels are low, a person will have a tendency to clot more easily. Elevated levels of protein C, on the other hand, appear to be irrelevant; they do not lead to an increased bleeding tendency. What Problems Does Protein C Deficiency Cause? Inherited protein C deficiency increases the risk for blood clots; acquired protein C deficiency usually does not. There are 2 major causes for protein C values to be low: (a) an inherited deficiency due to a genetic abnormality (mutation), and (b) an acquired deficiency due to some other disease ( Table Protein C Deficiency ). There are also several conditions under which a person temporarily has low protein C levels (see Table), but levels return to normal once the condition has resolved. The distinction between inherited and acquired/temporary deficiency is important, to avoid a wrong diagnosis of “inherited protein C deficiency” when low values are found."

They lie anterior to the corresponding renal arteries and join with the inferior vena cava at close to ninety degree angles. The inferior vena cava is a major vein that carries blood to the right atrium, where the blood is sent off to become reoxygenated. A normal human body has two kidneys, each equipped with a renal vein differentiated by “left” and “right,” according to which kidney the vein emerges from. The kidneys are organs located in the posterior abdominal cavity that serve roles of absorption, balancing the body’s water level, and filtering out waste to be excreted in the form of urine. The kidneys receive oxygen and nutrients via the oxygen rich blood that enters the kidneys through the renal arteries. The arterial blood is then relieved of unwanted minerals and metabolites in small filtration and reabsorption units in the kidney called nephrons, after which point it is excreted. The blood is then passed through small venules, which connect and empty into interlobar veins. Two branches of veins, the anterior branch and the posterior branch, combine to create the singular renal vein that arises from each kidney. The anterior branch collects blood from the anterior, or front, region of the kidney and the posterior branch draws from the posterior, or back, region."

"text": "Budd Chiari What is Budd Chiari syndrome? Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a disorder affecting the liver and blood vessels, where blood flowing into the liver has difficulty in being able to flow out, leading to serious complications. After blood has passed through the liver, it flows out through the hepatic veins and into the inferior vena cava, a large blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart. In BCS, this flow is partially blocked, sometimes referred to as ‘an obstruction of hepatic venous outflow’. The immediate result is a build-up (congestion) of blood in the liver, as there is more flowing in than flowing out. The liver becomes swollen, tender to the touch and a source of discomfort. The congestion causes fluid to leak from the liver into the abdominal cavity. The resulting build-up of fluid in the abdominal area is called ascites, one of the commonest symptoms of Budd-Chiari syndrome. It may be visible as a bulge in your tummy area and can be uncomfortable and make it hard to breathe and eat normally. If the blockage is extensive and also blocks the large blood vessel which returns blood to the heart from the lower half of the body (the inferior vena cava), there may be other places that become swollen."

[ 1]The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for repetitive production of duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting process are usually interchangeable. It evolved from earlier lathes with the addition of the turret, which is an indexable toolholder that allows multiple cutting operations to be performed, each with a different cutting tool, in easy, rapid succession, with no need for the operator to perform set-up tasks in between, such as installing or uninstalling tools, nor to control the toolpath. The latter is due to the toolpath's being controlled by the machine, either in jig -like fashion, via the mechanical limits placed on it by the turret's slide and stops, or via electronically -directed servomechanisms for computer numerical control lathes.

Many factors contribute to good part formation on a press brake. But every operator must understand four simple but crucial elements of the process for that to happen: The operator The brake The tooling The drawings Operator Foremost are the operators, who need to be well-trained and offered regular training updates on the proper use of the shop's brakes. Operators also should know the importance of the other three factors listed previously and be able to use those elements to the fullest to produce the most accurate parts possible in the shortest amount of time. The goal of operators is not only to make good parts but also to keep setup time to a minimum within the confines of a given press brake. Remember, time spent in setup is time not spent making parts, so reducing setup time is very important. Only the operator's expertise can reduce setup time on a given machine. Operators also should remember the correlation between setup time and the number of parts made so that they can factor setup time into the time per part produced. For short runs the setup time must be minimized as compared to longer runs of complicated parts. It follows, then, that simple parts requiring little setup time can and should be made in small quantities economically, while complicated parts with longer setup times should be made in larger quantities."

On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one block at a time. If the computer is connected to a number of machines it can distribute programs to different machines as required. Usually, the manufacturer of the control provides suitable DNC software. However, if this provision is not possible, some software companies provide DNC applications that fulfill the purpose.

You can walk onto a workroom floor any hour of the day or night and the activity never ceases. That is one of many reasons why SCCY is now among the most successful pocket pistols manufacturers in the country. Pronounced “Sky” after the original Skyy Industries founded in 2003 by CEO Joe Roebuck, the SCCY CPX-3 is the company’s first .380 ACP pistol and the first SCCY model to utilize the innovative Roebuck Quad-Lock system for improved barrel stability and accuracy. In creating the Quad-Lock system, Roebuck, who is also the company’s head of design and engineering, addressed a common problem with .380 autopistols as well as other semi-automatics using a locked-breech design."

Im actually pretty curious as to how much a machinist makes on an annual basis. Do certain types of machinist's make more than others? I mean, Im sure there are guys who sit and measure parts on a CNC machine all day, and then there are probably guys who are making complicated one-off's, right? How does Education reflect pay? I mean, as a teacher around here, the higher your degree, the higher your base pay is. Does it work like that in this trade or is it more or less experience? You guys talk about how important the job is and how many hours you work. Im not looking for exact numbers or anything like that, just ballparks."

Most of the equipment used to produce finished metal and plastic products such as welders, lathes and cutting devices is automated by computer programs that typically require only minimal human supervision in the process of cranking out up to several thousand pieces per hour. Workers who are trained to oversee and troubleshoot CNC lathes and mills are often called CNC operators, CNC setters or CNC machinists. Training for CNC Machinists CNC machinists have historically been trained on the job, but this is changing in the 21st century as more formal training and certifications are becoming the norm. A number of vocational schools and community colleges now offer CNC training courses, and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills has created skills standards in 24 areas and has developed more than 50 different skill-certification programs. Formal CNC training programs can last from a few weeks to a full year. CNC Machinist Salary Ranges According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for metal and plastic machine workers, the category that includes CNC machinists and operators, was $31,910, or $15.34 per hour, in 2010. Computer-controlled machine tool operators earned a median salary of $34,736, or $16.70 per hour, in 2010. Other Metal and Plastic Machine Worker Salaries Molding, coremaking and casting-machine operators earn the lowest, with median annual salaries only coming in at $28,163, or $13.54 per hour. Grinding, lapping, polishing and buffing machine tool operators move up the scale somewhat, with a median annual salary of $30,659, or $14.74 per hour."

"text": "A CNC grinding machine is a computerised tool that produces very fine finishes or make light cuts. It is worth noting that this machine uses an abrasive wheel as the cutting device. Since CNC machines remove material from a work piece by abrasion, they typically generate a lot of heat. As such, they require a coolant to reduce friction and ultimately prevent the machines from overheating. Here is some more information about these machines: An overview of CNC grinding machine The term CNC stands for computer numerical control. Therefore, CNC machines typically come with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided design (CAD) programs. These programs are essentially computer codes used to command CNC machines to perform certain tasks. A computer programmer writes and alters the code required to run various machining tasks. This aspect makes these machines quite efficient because they do not require humans to operate various levers and wheels manually. In addition, they can make precise cuts and finishes unlike human hands that are susceptible to trembling."

CNC machinists work with computer numeric controlled (CNC) heavy machinery from setup to operation to produce parts and tools from metal, plastic or other materials. Computer numeric controlled equipment is precision machinery that cuts, grinds, or drills into the material. CNC machinists make adjustments to the machine to control speed, material feed and path of the cut, as well as make sure the machines are set up properly, working well, and producing quality product. CNC machinists make sure their machines are working at full capacity, are stocked with needed materials, well-maintained and perform periodic checks on output. They look at the finished product to ensure it is defect-free and ready for the next step in production. CNC machinists may work on many different machines, or specialize on one complex machine. They are builders, fabricators, mechanics, craftsmen and quality assurance all wrapped into one. HOW MUCH DO CNC MACHINISTS MAKE? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median hourly income for machinists in 2010 was $19.19, or $39,910 annually."

They often combine and incorporate different materials into wood. Duties of Woodworkers Woodworkers typically do the following: Understand detailed architectural drawings, schematics, shop drawings, and blueprints Prepare and set up machines and tooling for woodwork manufacturing Lift wood pieces onto machines, either by hand or with hoists Operate woodworking machines, including saws and milling and sanding machines Listen for unusual sounds or detect excessive vibration in machinery Ensure that products meet industry standards and project specifications, making adjustments as necessary Select and adjust the proper cutting, milling, boring, and sanding tools for completing a job Use hand tools to trim pieces or assemble products Despite the abundance of plastics, metals, and other materials, wood products continue to be an important part of our daily lives. Woodworkers make wood products from lumber and synthetic wood materials. Many of these products, including most furniture, kitchen cabinets, and musical instruments, are mass produced. Other products are custom made from architectural designs and drawings. Although the term \"\"woodworker\"\" may evoke the image of a craftsman who uses hand tools to build ornate furniture, the modern woodworking trade is highly technical and relies on advanced equipment and highly skilled operators. Workers use automated machinery, such as computerized numerical control (CNC) machines, to do much of the work with great accuracy. Even specialized artisans generally use CNC machines and a variety of power tools in their work. Much of the work is done in a high-production assembly line facility, but there is also some work that is customized and does not lend itself to being performed on an assembly line."

( Part 1 – Holes)by Bob Warfield | Beginner, Blog, Products, Techniques | 2 comments I get this question from time to time, and all beginners are going to have it when they first start out: How can I figure out which tool to use? For this article, let’s stick to CNC Mills and Routers, and be aware that a Router is really just another name for a particular type of mill. I’m also not going to delve into every situation, I’m going to stick to the most common situations and the most widely used tools. Beginners should too!The Basics Here are the basic factors that will influence which tool to use: What kind of feature are you machining? What are the capabilities of your CNC machine? What material are you machining? Cost, efficiency, and other premature optimizations. We can do a lot with just those four areas and the interactions between them. Factor #1, what kind of feature are you machining, is the most important, because it’s going to determine the general category and perhaps the size of tool you’ll use."

"text": "20mn read Feb 25, 2015 @lazharichir 13List Of 600+ Hybrid Dog Breeds With Their Name & Mix CONTENTS600+ Hybrid Dogs' Name & Pure Breeds Mix Great books about these breeds... We have compiled a list of over 600 famous hybrid dogs (also called: Designer Dogs, Boutique Dogs, Mongrels and Dog Crossbreeds) with, for each, its Hybrid Name and the mix of pure breeds it is from. To cut the debate short: a hybrid dog is not a BREED in itself; it is a hybrid resulting from a mix of more than one purebred dog. The term “hybrid” is still incorrect as all dogs are a sub-species of Canis lupus familiaris (the wolf) and as such, it is impossible to have an actual hybrid as they are two of the same species. Although scientifically incorrect, we still commonly use “hybrid” to describe and refer to these mixes. The term “designer dog” has been traced back to the late 20th century when it appeared in the Encyclopædia Britannica, when dog breeders were intentionally crossing purebred poodles with other purebred breeds with, as sole objective, the obtention of a dog with the poodles’ hypoallergenic coat, along with various desirable characteristics from other breeds. Creating designer crossbreeds is usually done for one or more of the reasons below: Reduce the risk of genetic diseases linked to specific pure breeds by avoiding undesirable recessive traits Create dogs with an improved hybrid vigour or heterosis Start a line of dogs with predictable characteristics and features Launch the preliminary stage of developing a new dog breed in itself Get a dog merging the best qualities of two or more purebred dogs or breeds600+ Hybrid Dogs' Name & Pure Breeds Mix The purebred dogs (crosses/mixes) are sorted alphabetically.

Below is a list of the most popular hybrid dogs. The best way to determine the traits of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in all breeds. The Dog Breed Info Center® does not attempt to interpret the temperaments of each individual hybrid mix because the differences in the dogs, even within the same litter, can vary greatly. If you do not feel the temperament of one of the purebreds in the mix is suited for your lifestyle, then that hybrid dog is not for you. Do not take a gamble that the puppy or dog will turn out like the other breed in the mix. Choosing a dog simply for its looks is a foolish way to choose a dog."

Price: $1400Location: Four Oaks, NCBreed: Bulldog View All Ads Next The English Springer Spaniel is set apart from its Spaniel cousins thanks to its smaller range of coat colors and patterns. While the English Springer Spaniel is rare among dog breeds because there are two distinct lines of show-bred dogs and field dogs that are nevertheless considered to be the same breed, both lines share the same few colors, even if the patterns are varied. In this article, we'll take a look at the colors and markings of the English Springer Spaniel and how they compare to the colors and markings of other popular Spaniels, the American and English Cocker Spaniels. Unlike other Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels only come in three acceptable color combinations. These color combinations are white and liver (sometimes also known as chocolate), white and black, and either of these combinations with the addition of tan markings that can usually be found above the eyes or on the cheeks. The white portions of the coat may also have flecks of colored hairs throughout. According to the American Kennel Club, colors such as lemon, red or orange are considered off-colors and are not acceptable for competition. The AKC standard does not include any pattern requirements but most English Springer Spaniels have a colored face and ears with a white muzzle and blaze. Beyond that, anything is acceptable, although there are again differences that can usually be found between the coat patterns of the show-bred and the field lines."

The term 'Cockapoo' is a generic name for several variations on a theme, of a cross-breed dog, depending on parentage - so it would be impossible to exact a \"\"Breed Standard\"\" on it. A Cockapoo, which is the mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, is generally accepted as loving; loyal; cuddly; fun; energetic and totally domesticated family pets. Cockapoos have been known in the United States since about 1950 and are one of the oldest of the hybrid dog breeds. The earliest known dictionary reference was a 1960 Oxford English Dictionary citation. When new to this country nearly 10 years ago they were given the label of 'designer dogs'. We already have Cockapoos who are 8 and 9 years old in GB and as their popularity continues to increase, their substantial list of qualities are being appreciated, so the label has been dropped as the dogs have gained recognition. We accept all sizes; styles and crosses (F1; F1b; F2 etc etc) into the Club and as such will be looking to build a comprehensive guide as time goes on. The first cross with a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle results in the 'F1' Cockapoo."

"text": "Sporting Dog Breeds Dog Care > Dog Adoption > Selecting a Dog Breed >10 December 10, 2014 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 18,472 Views Share Throughout the world, there are more than 400 purebred dogs. However, the American Kennel Club only recognizes and accepts breeds with a lineage, as well as those with an active breed group to perpetuate and develop the breed. For that reason, the AKC does not recognize many breeds. Once recognized by the AKC, the breed appears in the AKC Stud Book. Each breed is placed in a specific category, based on temperament, physical appearance and function. When the American Kennel Club was founded in 1884 (then called the Philadelphia Kennel Club), it haphazardly listed its original 29 different breeds. Breeds as different as the dachshund and the mastiff were lumped together on the list. As the list of purebreds slowly grew, club officials realized they needed to organize the many different purebreds into distinct groups. In 1923, the AKC organized the breeds into five categories: Sporting Dogs (including hounds), Working Dogs, Toy Breeds, Terriers and Non-sporting Dogs. Today, there are 163 breeds divided into eight categories: Sporting, Hound, Herding, Toy, Working, Terrier, Non-sporting and Miscellaneous."

The breed's size at adulthood is largely dependent on the size of the parents. Smaller than average parents can produce miniature, petite or toy Golden Cocker Retrievers, while larger parents will produce larger offspring. The breed should have a loving, friendly, and sweet temperament as both parent breeds are known for their gentle nature. They make excellent family dogs and do well with children and other pets.

Thought to be comparable to the old Land Spaniel, they are similar to the English Springer Spaniel and historically have been referred to as both the Welsh Spaniel and the Welsh Cocker Spaniel. They were relatively unknown until a succession of victories in dog trials by the breed increased its popularity. Following recognition by The Kennel Club in 1902, the breed gained the modern name of Welsh Springer Spaniel. The breed's coat only comes in a single colour combination of white with red markings, usually in a piebald pattern. Loyal and affectionate, they can become very attached to family members and are wary of strangers. Health conditions are limited to those common among many breeds of dog, although they are affected more than average by hip dysplasia and some eye conditions. They are a working dog, bred for hunting, and while not as rare as some varieties of spaniel, they are rarer than the more widely known English Springer Spaniel with which they are sometimes confused."

"text": "\"About the Breed | Breed Standard | Colours & Markings | Health | FAQFREQUENTLY ASKED COCKER QUESTIONSSHOW STRAIN v WORKING STRAIN. What are the differences? If you are buying a pet Cocker puppy, it is important to know that there are two distinct strains within the breed, the show strain (or show type) and the working strain (often referred to as Working Cockers), each bred for different purposes with different attributes. Working Cockers, as the name implies, are bred as working gundogs, capable of staying out all day in the shooting field. However many are now being increasingly sold to pet homes where, in the right hands, they can make very good family dogs for the active home. They are also becoming popular in canine sports such as agility and flyball. Show-strain dogs are the type seen in the show rings (such as at Crufts). Their appealing looks and compact size have made show-type Cockers popular as family pets for many years. If you see a photo of a Cocker on a calendar or in a book, it will be a show-type dog more often than not, although this may be slowly changing with the growing number of Working Cockers in pet homes. Physically, Working Cockers can look quite different to the show-type Cocker."

Leave a comment Upload image See Google Images Description Also known as Amphioctopus margina, Veined Octopus, Octopus sp.4, Coconut Octopus and Walktopus. Found on sandy bottoms in bays and lagoons. Colour varies to blend in with surroundings. They feed on shrimp, crabs and clams. Length - 8cm, arms 15cm Depth - 5-30m Widespread Western Pacific This wonderful Octopus found hiding inside coconut shells, covered in shells, empty snail shells in bottles or just buried in the sand with only the eyes showing, it has the ability to walk away on two arms. Octopus make their homes in holes in the reef or bury in the sand. They can often be found by the tell tail debris outside the holes. Octopus feed by grabbing their prey with their tentacles or by spreading their skirt (the webbing between their tentacles) over the reef and hoovering up underneath. They have a beak for biting their prey, the bite quickly paralyses their prey."

"text": "11.12.2012The Shocking Health Benefits of Raw Meat!Is raw meat a health hazard or could it possibly be healthy? Most people are very leery of raw meat becasue they are afraid of getting food poisoning, am I right? Why is it that most cultures around the world eat some form of raw meat. Raw meat is very important to our health, and if you find the right source, there is no need to fear the raw stuff!“Almost all traditional societies incorporate raw, enzyme-rich foods into their cuisines—not only vegetable foods but also raw animal proteins and fats in the form of raw dairy foods, raw fish and raw muscle and organ meats. These diets also traditionally include a certain amount of cultured or fermented foods, which have an enzyme content that is actually enhanced by the fermenting and culturing process.” ~Sally Fallon Vitamins We all know vitamins are important for one reason or another. Meats are known to be high in the famous B vitamins. Though, did you know that meats can actually contain more B vitamins in their raw state? Vitamin B12Studies have demonstrated that Vitamin B-12 is heat sensitive and normal cooking can destroy as much as 89% of it. The WAPF article named “ Vitamin B12: Vital Nutrient for Good Health ” starts off by saying “ One of the most important nutrients we get from animal foods is vitamin B12″. That says something important, don’t you think?"

Contact Author Some Kinds of Mollusk Most people think of mollusks as slow-moving creatures, like snails, or animals that hardly move at all, like mussels. This is only part of the picture. The oceans of the world were once dominated by schools of predatory mollusks called ammonites with sharp beaks and a surprising turn of speed. Those kinds of mollusks died out at the same time as the dinosaurs but, in the present day, squid and octopuses are formidable ocean hunters with an intelligence that outshines any fish. This page explores all types of mollusks, from the humble slug to the compelling Giant Pacific Octopus. What Exactly is a Mollusk? Typical mollusk anatomy Mollusc Characteristics Mollusks rank towards the bottom of the evolutionary tree appearing over 500 million years ago. They are, never-the-less, sophisticated creatures with:a heart and blood circulation,stomach and digestive tractspecial organs for breathing air (primitive lungs) or extracting oxygen from water (gills).a nervous systemkidneysmale and female reproductive organs Mollusks are found in most places on Earth, from deep oceans to mountain tops. They share a similar level of overall characteristics but can appear very different at first glance."

A crab-eating macaque using a stone Tools are used by animals for purposes including acquiring food and water, grooming, defense, recreation or construction. Originally thought to be a skill only possessed by humans, some tool use requires a sophisticated level of cognition. There is considerable discussion about the definition of what constitutes a tool and therefore which behaviours can be considered as true examples of tool use. A wide range of animals are considered to use tools including mammals, birds, fish, cephalopods and insects. Primates are well known for using tools for hunting or gathering food and water, cover for rain, and self-defence. Chimpanzees have been the object of study, most famously by Jane Goodall, since these animals are more-often kept in captivity than other primates and are closely related to humans. Tool-use in other primates are lesser-known as many of them are mainly observed in the wild. Many famous researchers, such as Charles Darwin in his book The Descent of Man, mentioned tool-use in monkeys (such as baboons )."

What we have also found, however, is that they have to be smart for a reason. Some of their prey have come up with tricks to avoid capture that would put a even supervillain to shame.8 The Hognose Snake Stages Its Own Murder Source The hognose snake is venomous, so you might think that's all the defense it'd need. The problem is it only has small fangs at the back of its mouth, so you'd only have to worry about a hognose bite if it was deep-throating you and we're guessing you gents have already tossed caution to the wind when you're taking that for a run. To compensate for this cruel twist of design, they have developed a defense strategy that takes \"\"playing possum\"\" to a bizarre, mind-boggling level. These things fake their own murder, and with such detail that they could fool the CSI crew. Yes, like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, the hognose snake knows when it's opportune to fake being dead. In the animal kingdom, it's typically done because certain predators will avoid carrion, but lots of mammals and birds of prey have no such qualms about dead snakes. It's just that the hognose snake attacks the role with such vigor that no one has the heart to tell it the truth.↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement It will convulse wildly, flip over on to its back and lie nearly motionless even when prodded. The hognose death-stagger is so overwrought that even Jim Carrey's directorial notes advise dialing it back."

A bite from the beak accompanied by injection of salivary-gland toxin incapacitates the prey. Multiple prey items can be accommodated within the web and eaten one at a time, or transferred en masse back to the den for later consumption. Squids float or swim about seeking prey fishes. Attack involves rapid extension of a pair of tentacles that may be expanded into a club-shape, and bear extra-large suckers and sometimes hooks. The tentacles are joined together by a temporary suckering arrangement for this manouvre. The prey is drawn back into the 8 arms, subdued, killed by the beak, and often swallowed whole.

Around 300 species are recognised and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the centre point of the arms (which are sometimes mistakenly called \"\" tentacles \"\"). The soft body can rapidly alter its shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight arms behind them as they swim. The siphon is used both for respiration and for locomotion, by expelling a jet of water. Octopuses have a complex nervous system and excellent sight, and are among the most intelligent and behaviourally diverse of all invertebrates. Octopuses inhabit various regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the seabed; some live in the intertidal zone and others at abyssal depths."

"text": "\"Science Biology Zoology Q: How Does an Octopus Feed? A: Quick Answer Octopuses are carnivores that feed on crabs, clams, squid and fish by catching their prey and then returning to their dens to consume it. A variety of methods are used to extract the edible portion of their prey from a shell, such as pulling it apart with their appendages, using the beaks at the center of their arms to crush it or drilling into the shell and injecting a paralyzing venom into a still-living meal. After an octopus consumes its prey, it will leave the skeletal remains, called \"\"middens,\"\" outside its den. Continue Reading Keep Learning Is a Dragonfly a Carnivore? What Do Weddell Seals Eat? What Is the Difference Between Parasites and Predators? Full Answer An octopus uses a variety of methods to acquire food, such as chasing and stalking, or in an ambush strategy, emerging suddenly out of a camouflaged location and attacking its prey. Their hunting methods are based on a keen visual sense that also enables them to use their four pairs of arms in well-coordinated movements. Octopuses are believed to be the most intelligent form of invertebrate life, but the exact extent of their observational learning capabilities is a much-debated topic among biologists."

Yet for some reason they have evolved to mate in the most intimate way possible By Katherine Harmon Courage24 February 2015Male octopuses have a big problem: female octopuses. Each male wants to mate and pass on his genes to a new generation. The trouble is, the female is often larger and hungrier than he is, so there is a constant risk that, instead of mating, the female will strangle him and eat him. The males have a host of tricks to survive the mating process. Some of them can quite literally mate at arm's length. Others sneak into a female's den disguised as another gal, or sacrifice their entire mating arm to the female and then make a hasty retreat. It's all very macabre. It's also a paradox.

There was a broken coconut on the beach, and they were swarming it, literally 15-20 of them all over the open coconut eating it.... they made little groves where they were eating. I took pictures... it was really pretty cool. So.... I guess they eat RAW coconut... remember they naturally live on/near a tropical beach, so they will eat coconuts, perhaps a soft non-acidic fruit like a peach or plum, grasses, etc. I'd cut a small fruit or fresh coconut and put it in the cage... store the rest in fridge, and change every day or 2."

Even with its small size, the blue tinged octopus is one of the deadliest creatures. The worst thing is that the victim does not feel any pain of its bite but effects are certainly speedy and sometimes fatal. The blue ringed octopuses inhabits in the rock pools surrounding Australia coast. These species take shelters in old shells and rocky holes after and before hunting. These shells provide absolute protection against potential predators such as sharks, snappers, moray eels and groper. They are more readily found in the coral reefs of Indian and Pacific oceans ranging from Japan to Australia. In Australia blue ringed octopus is found in South Australia and New South Wales. They are characterized by blue and black rings displaying on their yellowish skin. There are around 50 to 60 blue rings covering dorsal of mantle."

"text": "Custom Search Keeping an Octopus in Your Aquarium Keeping an octopus in your saltwater aquarium isn't as common as keeping other invertebrates. One reason for this is that many octopus species grow somewhat large. Another reason is that octopuses eat a variety of fish and invertebrates that saltwater aquarists normally like to keep in their aquariums. However, it is possible to successfully keep an octopus in an aquarium, but it will need to be a species only aquarium that houses only one octopus. Their aquarium conditions and water quality should be approximately the same as a reef tank, although not as brightly lit, as most octopus species are noctural creatures. The octopus species most commonly kept in the home aquarium are Octopus cyanea or O. vulgaris, however, there are other species sometimes available at your local pet store. The octopus body is soft. There is no internal or external skeleton. Because of this, they are able to squeeze through very small openings. If you plan on keeping an octopus in your aquarium you must have a tight fitting lid."

I have dived with many species of octopus, and overall, they are not dangerous, unless provoked. They are very nervous, darting into their crevice at first sight. But if treated right, can become very curious and friendly. When diving with a buddy of mine, a octopus that he was playing with grabbed his goggles and respirator with his arms, attempting to pull them towards him. He was fine after pulling the arms away."

Then almost a year ago, I came back and reviewed the (then) latest version of their product, Netwrix Auditor, which had added a number of new features and functionalities. Once again, I came away liking the product very much. This time, I’m taking a look at the current version of the Active Directory auditing module, which is a very comprehensive solution that provides auditing for Windows Server Active Directory and Group Policy, AD recovery, inactive user tracking and alerting in case of password expiration. The Windows Active Directory is, of course, at the heart of a Windows-based enterprise network, the mechanism by which admins organize and control the resources and other objects (computers, users and groups) that reside on the network. It is at the same time a structural framework, a database and a security apparatus that manages identities and provides authentication and authorization. Thus keeping tabs on what’s going on with AD is an essential part of keeping a Windows network secure and operating properly. With so many organizations now subject to regulatory compliance requirements, change auditing is becoming less of an option and more of a mandatory part of your security strategy. But it also makes your job easier when troubleshooting problems. There are plenty of packages out there that are designed to do change auditing, but some are limited in their capabilities and others are comprehensive but way too complex in the installation and/or implementation of the features."

A workers’ compensation premium audit is the process that determines how much the compensation has changed by the end of the year so that the final premium paid can be made proportionate to the actual compensation amount. Workers’ Compensation Audit timing This audit should be done for any time that a policy was in force (current and still in effect), even if the policy has already been renewed and is in the next term or if it has been canceled.

"text": "SQF Frequently Asked Questions How do we go about implementing SQF? Most food suppliers have implemented some form of an overall food safety program and have experience preparing for regulatory, quality, and/or food safety/hygiene audits. Transitioning to an SQF System is much easier for suppliers who have already implemented ISO or HACCP, and even more so if they have implemented both. After becoming informed about SQF Program requirements, you should evaluate consultancy options if needed* and designate an employee to serve as your SQF Practitioner, essentially your internal expert on the SQF System. Per SQF requirements, the SQF Practitioner must be: A permanent, full-time employee responsible for the overall management of the SQF System;HACCP trained and competent to implement and maintain your company’s HACCP plans; and SQF knowledgeable and competent to implement and maintain your SQF System. After you have conducted a preliminary gap analysis of your current system, you must now “say what you do” and “do what you say.” The time and resources required to develop and implement an SQF Program vary depending on the current state of your program and your intended scope of certification. Perry Johnson Registrars Food Safety Inc. (PJRFSI) understands that this time can be very stressful and challenging, especially when a customer mandate or parent company is driving the certification requirement. We highly recommend that you initiate a relationship with a certification body prior to completing the implementation process. When you contact PJRFSI, we will ask you to fill out an application and, based on the information you supply about your company and program, a Project Manager will provide you with a competitive certification plan and pricing."

"text": "\"Clinical Documentation Improvement—A Physician Perspective: Insider Tips for getting Physician Participation in CDI Programs By Adele L. Towers, MD, MPHThe following is likely not a surprise to those clinical documentation improvement specialists (CDS) working day in and day out improving physician documentation. But for the record-clinical documentation improvement (CDI) is not taught in medical school. The truth is that most physicians have no idea what CDI means and why it should be important to them. But it is important. CDI programs have increased significantly over the past 10 years due to changes in reimbursement and increased scrutiny by third party payers. As a result, hospitals have invested a significant amount of time and resources to hire CDSs to review charts and identify conditions that were evaluated, monitored, or treated during the hospital stay but were not documented in a way that can be coded. Physician participation and buy-in can be difficult since some physicians feel that CDI programs exist only to benefit the hospital and just add more work. But some insider tips-provided by a physician-can be used to promote CDI programs to members of the medical staff and engage their willing participation in the process. Make CDI about Quality The main message to physicians should be that CDI is a quality initiative. When asking physicians why good clinical documentation is necessary, they will most likely say that it is to document the care of the patient and to communicate with other providers."

Articles appear in newspapers almost daily about frauds being discovered and fraudsters being charged. Fraud has become one of the most significant risks an organization faces. In light of this growing attention, internal auditors are being asked more frequently to participate in assisting organizations to prevent and detect fraud. It has become part of their professional responsibility. Preventing and detecting fraud is not an easy task and requires thorough knowledge about how fraud can be committed and concealed, and who would commit it and why. Why do people commit occupational fraud? In 1973, Donald Cressey, a criminologist, published a hypothesis about what drives people to violate trust. Over the years, Cressey’s hypothesis has become known as “the fraud triangle” (see Figure 1). The fraud triangle is a model for explaining the factors that result in someone committing occupational fraud."

"text": "A statutory audit is an audit that is required by a government agency and does not pertain to all businesses in the UK. For example, statutory audits are required specifically by institutions, such as banks, brokerage companies and insurance companies in the UK. This is because these types of businesses need to comply with very specific financial regulations, such as capital requirements and the regulatory agencies that oversee these businesses require a statutory audit to show UK GAAP compliance. However, UK-registered companies may also be subject to statutory audits and business owners should check with a qualified accountant what their specific requirements are under UK GAAP and UK law. A qualified accountant or an accounting firm can easily advise you on what your specific requirements are, as well as advise you on possible regulatory and tax code changes. It is important for businesses to comply with these regulations, because non-compliance can be heavily penalised. Also, the requirements for statutory audits do change and businesses should check the latest requirements from the HM Revenues & Customs (www.hmrc.gov.uk) to make sure they are compliant. For example, in 2012, there is no longer a requirement for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to submit to statutory audits, if they meet certain threshold requirements. Such changes are part of the government’s move to remove financial burdens from SMEs and streamline business practices. Also, in the UK, public agencies are audited by the National Audit Office (www.nao.org.uk)."

Yes, SC Law provides for a substantial tax break on agricultural real property which is actually used for a bona fide agricultural use. There are two parts to this benefit. First, if qualified, the property's taxable value is based on \"\"Use Value\"\", which is less than the property's \"\"Market Value\"\". The \"\"Use Value\"\" is based on the productive capability of the soil type or types of the property. Second, the assessed value is 4% of the \"\"Use Value\"\", unless the property is owned by a corporation with ten (10) or more stockholders, then the applicable ratio is 6%. Q.

What the Government Must Prove in a Tax Case Your Chance of Being Convicted of a Tax Crime If You Are Convicted of a Tax Crime It is a crime to cheat on your taxes. In a recent year, however, fewer than 2,000 people were convicted of tax crimes —0.0022% of all taxpayers. This number is astonishingly small, taking into account that the IRS estimates that 15.5% of us are not complying with the tax laws in some way or another. The number of convictions for tax crimes has increased less than 1% over the most recent five-year period. The point is that the statistical likelihood of your being convicted of a tax crime is almost nil. Nevertheless, if you are in the unlucky minority of people criminally investigated by the IRS, you need more than this book. Hire the best tax and/or criminal lawyer you can find. According to the IRS, 75% of the tax cheating is done by individuals—mostly middle-income earners."

"text": "\"Recipe: Implementing Role-Based Security with ASP. NET 2.0 using Windows Authentication and SQL Server Monday, July 24, 2006Problem You are building an Intranet expense report application for your organization, and want to enable role-based authentication and authorization capabilities within it. Specifically, you want to create logical roles called “approvers”, “auditors”, and “administrators” for the application, and grant/deny end-users access to functionality within the application based on whether they are in these roles. Because your application is an Intranet solution, you want to use Windows Authentication to login the users accessing the application (avoiding them having to manually login). However, because the roles you want to define are specific to your application, you do not want to define or store them within your network’s Windows Active Directory. Instead, you want to define and store these roles within a database. You then want to map Windows user accounts stored within Active Directory to these roles, and grant/deny access within the application based on them. In addition to using roles to authorize access to individual pages within the application, you want to dynamically filter the links displayed within the site’s menu navigation based on whether users have permissions (or not) to those links. And lastly, you want to build-in a custom role-management administration UI directly within the expense report application for “expense app administrators” to manage these roles and control who has access to the capabilities of the app: The below post walks through step-by-step how to implement all of this. You can download and run the completed sample we’ll build below here."

"text": "\"10 Best Practices for Establishing Internal Coding Audits July 28, 2010 | Print | Email An existent compliance plan not only detects incorrect coding practices, it may also be considered by some federal agencies when determining whether reasonable efforts were taken to avoid and detect fraud and abuse. Let's look at the following 10 best practices for establishing internal coding audits at your ASC.1. Establish your coding compliance goal Facilities should adopt a standardized method to measure coding quality performance. A coding audit will serve as a baseline indicator of coding accuracy, first by identifying root causes for coding errors, which should decrease variance and increase reliability. Second, an audit will identify strengths and weaknesses of coders, thereby facilitate the establishment of education goals.2. Appoint a qualified internal auditor Depending upon your ASC's organizational structure, reviews can be conducted by your coding manager/supervisor, lead coder or compliance department provided they are qualified and credentialed. The staff member who performs the internal audit should be credentialed with a coding certification and specifically experienced in ASC coding policies and guidelines. It would be wise to err on the side of caution since medical credentials (RN, LPN, MD) do not automatically mean the person is a qualified coding auditor. If your facility does not have a staff member qualified to perform internal audits, consider engaging a consultant and/or company with expertise in ASC auditing. The external audits should be performed on a more frequent basis than annually until coding accuracy percentages have been deemed acceptable and consistent.3."

"text": "codon A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis. DNA and RNA molecules are written in a language of four nucleotides; meanwhile, the language of proteins includes 20 amino acids. Codons provide the key that allows these two languages to be translated into each other. Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid (or stop signal), and the full set of codons is called the genetic code. The genetic code includes 64 possible permutations, or combinations, of three-letter nucleotide sequences that can be made from the four nucleotides. Of the 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and three are stop signals. For example, the codon CAG represents the amino acid glutamine, and TAA is a stop codon. The genetic code is described as degenerate, or redundant, because a single amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon. When codons are read from the nucleotide sequence, they are read in succession and do not overlap with one another."

It is the responsibility of the ribonucleic acid (RNA) to facilitate the synthesis of these proteins. To carry out this process, there are three types of RNA: messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA. It is the transfer RNA that is responsible for delivering the correct amino acids to the translation site. The Three Types of RNAMessenger RNA (m RNA) functions as the blueprint for protein synthesis, and directs the process.

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. When a gene is translated into a polypeptide, the codons (each made up of three sequential bases) are sequential on the m RNA. There are no extra bases between the codons, every base in the open reading frame is part of exactly one codon. Furthermore, every possible codon (all 64 three base combinations of the four bases) codes for either an amino acid, or a \"\"stop\"\", so there are no meaningless codons. If the code had \"\"commas\"\" that would mean that there could be bases between codons, or that some triplets would not code for any amino acid (or \"\"stop\"\"). In the 1960's, when researchers were first investigating the nature of the genetic code, the presence of commas in the code seemed like a reasonable hypothesis, particularly once it was established that the code was a triplet code, which means that there are many more possible codons than amino acids (64 vs 20).1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

Since there are only four nucleotide \"\"letters\"\" in the DNA alphabet (A, C, G, T, which stand for adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine), but there are 20 different amino acids in the protein alphabet, it is clear that more than one nucleotide must be used to specify an amino acid. Even two nucleotides read at a time would not give sufficient combinations (4 × 4 = 16) to encode all 20 amino acids plus start and stop signals. Therefore it would require a minimum of three DNA nucleotides to \"\"spell out\"\" one amino acid, and indeed this is the number that is actually used. RNA also uses a four letter alphabet when it reads and transcribes DNA instructions during protein synthesis, but its set of nucleotides is somewhat different, substituting U (uracil) for T (thymine). Any single set of three nucleotides is called a codon , and the set of all possible three-nucleotide combinations is called \"\"the genetic code\"\" or \"\"triplet code.\"\" There are sixty-four different combinations or codons (4 × 4 × 4 = 64).

For example, enzymes, including those that metabolize nutrients and synthesize new cellular constituents, as well as DNA polymerases and other enzymes that make copies of DNA during cell division, are all proteins. In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA ( m RNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-m RNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature m RNA (Figure 1)."

This process requires all three classes of RNA. Although the chemistry of peptide bond formation is relatively simple, the processes leading to the ability to form a peptide bond are exceedingly complex. The template for correct addition of individual amino acids is the m RNA, yet both t RNAs and r RNAs are involved in the process. The t RNAs carry activated amino acids into the ribosome which is composed of r RNA and ribosomal proteins. The ribosome is associated with the m RNA ensuring correct access of activated t RNAs and containing the necessary enzymatic activities to catalyze peptide bond formation.back to the top Historical Perspectives Early genetic experiments demonstrated:1. The co-linearity between the DNA and protein encoded by the DNA. Yanofsky showed that the order of observed mutations in the E. coli tryptophan synthetase gene was the same as the corresponding amino acid changes in the protein.2. Crick and Brenner demonstrated, from a large series of double mutants of the bacteriophage T4, that the genetic code is read in a sequential manner starting from a fixed point in the gene, the code was most likely a triplet and that all 64 possible combinations of the 4 nucleotides code for amino acids, i.e. the code is degenerate since there are only 20 amino acids. The above mentioned experiments only indicated deductive correlation's regarding the genetic code."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This process can be divided into two parts: 1. Transcription Before the synthesis of a protein begins, the corresponding RNA molecule is produced by RNA transcription. One strand of the DNA double helix is used as a template by the RNA polymerase to synthesize a messenger RNA (m RNA). This m RNA migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. During this step, m RNA goes through different types of maturation including one called splicing when the non-coding sequences are eliminated. The coding m RNA sequence can be described as a unit of three nucleotides called a codon. 2. Translation The ribosome binds to the m RNA at the start codon (AUG) that is recognized only by the initiator t RNA."

Coils are generally a sealed, water-tight component. As such, they are generally not a repairable item. Routine checks on a coil are not necessary. They should be tested as part of a troubleshooting procedure whenever the motorcycle becomes difficult to start or runs rough. Testing them tends to be relatively simple and involves the use of an ohmmeter. Turn off the motorcycle ignition. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the coil by hand. Disconnect the two smaller primary wires from the coil using an open-ended wrench."

Edit Answer by R32451 Confidence votes 20.7KBefore modern tires, automotive tires used a different method for holding the air pressure inside a tire. The inner tube is a piece of rubber shaped like the inside of the tire. The tube has a stem and valve into which air can be pumped. The inner tube is placed inside the tire, the tire is fitted onto the vehicle rim, the stem is pulled through the hole in the vehicle rim then compressed air is forced into the inner tube. That method was used for many years and is still used in bicycle and most motorcycle tires. Today, truck, automobile and many motorcycle tires are \"\"tubeless\"\", meaning that the tire uses a thin coating of sealant material on the inside of the tire surface. The tire seals against the rim, which is designed to fit tight against the tubeless tire. An inner tube is the tube inside a protective outer tire that is generally used to hold air and keep the entire tire inflated to a proper level."

If it is not in the fully down and forward position and on a flat/level and firm/solid surface when it is leaned over to the left side the bike may fall down. To Remove the Jiffy Stand WWAARRNNININGGBlock and support the motorcycle under frame to be sure that it is securely upright and level and so that the jiffy stand can be moved throughout its full range of travel and so that it will not fall down or onto the repair person when the jiffy stand is removed. Then move the jiffy stand to the retracted i.e. up position and remove the flange nut and leg stop from the threaded end of the jiffy stand leg and then move the jiffy stand leg to the full forward position which is the full down position and grasp the end of the jiffy stand spring as close to the frame tube as possible, and then twist and turn the end with needle nose pliers to unhook it from the frame hole. THEN remove the jiffy stand leg from its bracket, inspect the entire jiffy stand assembly for worn or damaged parts and replace them as found necessary. To Install the Jiffy Stand First lubricate the jiffy stand leg with an Aerosol Anti-Seize Lubricant but only in the area of the jiffy stand leg part that rotates within the bracket. THEN insert the threaded end of the jiffy stand up through the bottom of the bracket and with the jiffy stand in the full forward position, partially install the spring end into the frame hole and with a rap to the spring with a rubber mallet fully seat it in its hole. Be careful to insert the end of the spring into the hole at the front of the jiffy stand leg piece in front of the jiffy stand leg piece weldment because if it is inserted from the rear of the hole in the leg piece the coil of the spring will interfere with and rub on the leg piece when the jiffy stand is used and if it is installed incorrectly over time it will wear and the motorcycle could fall over due to this wear. THEN while holding the jiffy stand leg at the full forward position, install the leg stop over the threaded end with the stamped side down, install the flange nut and tighten it to 43-53 ft-lbs which is 58-72 Nm. NOW verify that the longer side of the leg stop faces towards the rear of the motorcycle, extend and retract the jiffy stand leg several times to verify that it operates properly, freely moving to both the full up and the full down positions with no spring or other interference or contact and verify that the rubber stop is correctly in place on the jiffy stand prong because without the rubber stop correctly in place the stand will make improper contact with the lower frame tube when the jiffy stand is retracted and will then likely chip and/or nick the powder coat."

As the model name revealed, the engine's cylinder displacement was roughly 1,000 cc (61 cu in), about 100 cc smaller than its predecessor. The GSX-R1000 was not just an enlarged version of the GSX-R750, although it shared many features with its little brother. The main frame is the same in both models, but the material used on the big brother was .5 mm (0.020 in) thicker. Suzuki claimed the torsional rigidity of the frame had increased 10% in comparison with the GSX-R750. The GSX-R1000 engine was a redesigned GSX-R750 engine. The R1000 had a 1 mm (0.04 in) bigger bore and 13 mm (0.51 in) longer stroke, newly designed pistons with lower crown, and gear-driven counter balancer. The engine weighed 130 lb (59 kg) which was slightly heavier than the 750 engine but 31 lb (14 kg) lighter than the engine of the GSX1300R.

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First and easiest is to check if the alternator is charging. To do this you need a multimeter and measure battery voltage with the bike not running, you should get around 12 volts next start the bike and test again you should now be getting 13-14.5 volts. You can test the stator by unplugging it from the wiring harness, and testing the 3 leads against each other for resistance (not running). Test #1 lead and #2, #1 lead and #3, and #2 lead and 3, for resistance against each other. They should all have less that 1 ohm resistance, if any more shows, the stator is bad. You can use this guide for some other tests for the regulator and stator... http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/pdfs/Trou... Testing the CDI would be a matter of measuring input voltage to the CDI, and output voltage to the coil. If output is not within spec of the service manual, but the input voltage is,then the CDI will need to be replaced. You will need a peak voltage adapter, or meter to measure the output.

"text": "\"In simple terms, a stator can be defined as the stationary part of an alternator. In order to understand what the stator does, it is helpful to know how a basic electrical system works. The electrical system on most vehicles includes a way to generate, store, and use electricity. An alternator generates power by producing AC (alternating current). Alternating current is often used exclusively to power halogen bulbs, tail lights, and some ignition systems on mopeds, dirt bikes, and ATVs. Any motorcycle that has a starter motor must also have a battery for powering it. Batteries cannot store AC current; therefore current must be converted into a storable form known as DC (direct current). A component known as the regulator/rectifier performs this conversion. The rectifier actually converts the current from AC to DC, while the regulator keeps the power level (voltage) from going above the 13.8 -14.5 volts needed to power a standard 12 volt battery. It is important that the stator provides more power than needed by the motorcycle so that the battery will stay charged."

In a typical four-stroke engine with an even number of cylinders, spark plugs fire in pairs. This means there is a wasted spark as one cylinder is in exhaust, while the other actually fires at the top of compression. I understand this is probably done to save space under the hood since it would double the number of required coil packs. It also saves money on initial purchase and replacement. However, they don't take up much space and don't cost that much (at least for my 4-cyl car). My question: Why not double the number of coil packs to avoid the wasted spark? Though this would take up more space and cost more for the packs, surly it would reduce wear and tear on the spark plugs to some extent as well as the spark plug wires and perhaps the alternator. This would half the number of sparks on each plug since they could be set to only fire on a compression stroke."

What does an alternator do ? The simple definition: An Alternator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. S ounds simple enough, right? So how does it really work? First, the cars engine provides the mechanical energy through a pulley attached to the engines crank shaft. As the engine runs the crank shaft pulley spins and drives a belt that transfers this spinning motion to the other pulleys that the belt contacts. On a typical modern car this includes pulleys attached to the alternator, the power steering pump, the water pump , and the air conditioning compressor . The alternator then uses this mechanical energy from the spinning pulley to produce electrical energy. The way in which the internal workings of the alternator are able to produce this electrical energy is where it gets somewhat more complex."

"text": "Rake and Trail Basic Frame Terminology The world of choppers and chopper building like most other fields of endeavor has it's own unique terminology. In most cases people throughout the world use the common chopper terms but you will find that there are sometimes terms that are unique to a particular region or locality. There are several on-line 'chopper' dictionaries and glossary's one can refer to but most I�ve seen are pretty elementary and cover the common slang phrases and words but don't go into technicalities. For this reason we thought it might be a good idea to include a short section in the manual that describes the basic parts of at least the frame on a typical chopper. For those new to the entire world of motorcycles you can pretty easily pick up the lingo for the component parts that bolt on to the frame as you follow through the rest of the manual. Figure 2.1 below illustrates a typical rigid chopper frame for the style that many people call 'Old-School', meaning it represents the style or design that was popular back in the seventies, sixties and fifties before the arrival of wide tires. Figure 2.1This is what's called a 'rigid' or 'hardtail' frame meaning that it has no suspension system of any kind for the rear wheel and tire which has it's axle rigidly bolted to the frame. Figure 2.2 illustrates a typical suspension type of frame. In this case the diagram depicts a 'softail' frame where the rear tire 'swingarm' pivots about a shaft that runs transversely through the main portion of the frame. Figure 2.2The rear wheel suspension system for the Softail frames consists of a pair of shocks mounted horizontally under the transmission, which aren�t shown in the drawing."

"text": "\"Back to support page Ignition Systems Basics to High Performance The job of an ignition system is to generate the spark energy needed to ignite the air/fuel mixture in an engine's cylinder. The main components of this system consist of an ignition coil, coil driver, distributor, spark plug wires, and spark plugs. This page will concentrate on the generation of the high voltage needed to produce a spark, and will begin with a basic ignition style and progress to performance types. Magnetos The most basic form of an ignition system is the magneto. Although it was one of the first styles built, it remains in use today. Using the example of a small engine such as a lawn mower or chainsaw, a basic magneto begins with a hub containing magnets which is attached to the crankshaft. As the crankshaft turns these magnets spin past a primary coil of wire to produce a current similar to a generator. The faster the engine runs the more power is generated by the magneto. A set of contacts (points), with a condenser to reduce contact arc wear, switches the current on and off in this primary coil. This process induces a pulse of a few hundred volts into a secondary coil each time the contacts open."

However they do nothing to add reliability to the stator, whereas the Series Style greatly enhances this aspect. A Series R/R significantly reduces the load on the stator which will run close to half of the current as it would with a Shunt R/R (whether that be SCR or MOSFET) Ergo the stator runs less hot and reliability is significantly improved. This mod applies equally to most modern bikes regardless of the marque/model. The defining factor regardless of motorcycle brand/year/model is that your bike has the discreet 3-phase Stator/Generator and Rectifier/Regulator arrangement As a preliminary, acknowledgements due to Oldn Dumb and CLB for their previous inputs on this subject. This is about replacing the standard equipment Regulator/Rectifier with a more efficient component. You can do this in event of failure rather than replace with the same stock component, or you can even do as a preventive measure if desired. As a prologue, let me introduce a basic troubleshooting process to determine whether you have a charging system failure. Diagnostics: A good Multi-meter is a pre-requisite. Record your battery voltage under the follow conditions 1) Ignition off, unloaded battery."

"text": "\"by Kirby Garlitos, on December 28, 2011, 10:00Ah yes, the Suzuki Hayabusa. Quite simply, this bike is definitely not for everyone. Considered the fastest and most powerful production sport bike on the market, the Hayabusa is reserved for only those that know what they’re doing riding on one. It’s superiority over everything else that makes it the pinnacle of all sports bikes, blending unparalleled performance with a stylish and sexy bodywork. Few bikes can go stride for stride with the Hayabusa, especially when you consider that the bike is powered by a 1,340cc in-line 4-cylinder fuel injected, DOHC liquid-cooled engine with 16-valves and Twin Swirl Combustion Chambers (TSCC), providing staggering power and uncompromising anger over anything that dares to cross its path. The Hayabusa’s engine is fed through Suzuki’s own SDTV ( Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) fuel injection system with dual 12-hole, fine-spray injectors per cylinder and a ram air intake with large volume air box. Likewise, the engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that features oil spray to the 4th, 5th, and 6th gears, reducing wear and mechanical noise whenever you take it out for a spine-tingling spin. As far as the bike’s handling is concerned, the Hayabusa was designed to be as tough as it is powerful. A lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum frame serves as the bike’s chassis, minimizing the overall weight while also maintaining high torsional strength. A fully adjustable inverted front fork features DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) coated inner tubes whereas the front suspension offers minimal friction resistance and provides outstanding suspension performance over a variety of riding conditions."

"text": "Don't ask us why most cruisers don't come with a motorcycle tachometer. We think every motorcycle needs a tachometer. Perhaps the manufacturers think that, because cruisers aren't constantly trying to wring the last bit of performance out of a bike's engine (like those sporty-bike types), we don't care what the engine is up to. Or maybe they think we find clutter on the handlebar so distasteful we'd rather not be bothered with how quickly the engine is spinning. Whatever the reason, the aftermarket has several motorcycle tachometer options available for cruisers who want information about what's going on underneath the gas tank. Recently, in our travels to events, several riders have asked us which motorcycle tachometers we would recommend. Since we had heard of inexpensive tachometers that last for a few months before getting a terminal case of the jitters, we decided we would round up as many tachometers as we could find for our Vulcan Classic. Our methodology was to mount each tach, check its accuracy, run a simulated riding sequence on a dyno, and live with each one in everyday use on the street. The tachometers offered different levels of responsiveness, and we suffered none of the failures we had heard about. [ Editor's Note: Since this was printed in 1998, at least one additional company, Cobra has introduced a new tach intended for cruiser use, shown above. ]"

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs What does an ignition condenser do?1 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First, to understand what the capacitor (condensor) does in the ignition system, it is necessary to understand how an ignition system works. Current goes through the primary circuit in an ignition coil and then to some sort of switching system breaks the connection when a cylinder's spark plug is meant to fire. The magnetic field that's in the ignition coil collapses and induces a high voltage into the secondary circuit of the ignition system, causing an arc in the spark plug and then firing the cylinder. The problem is that when the magnetic field collapses in the primary circuit, a short voltage spike is introduced to that circuit as well. The condensor/capacitor absorbs this voltage spike. In modern cars, this capacitor is no longer necessary. A diode is used instead. If no capacitor were attached to an older system which requires one, voltage (and thus current) can flow backwards into the battery causing an overcharge condition and/or short out the plates by arcing. In addition, the alternator diodes may fail. Source (s): Answers KB998965 · 7 years ago4 1 1 comment Asker's rating Points And Condenser Source (s):https://shrink.im/a9UHk? ·"

"text": "\"Cold War Origins - Genealogy of the term It was in the United States, not accidentally, that the Cold War as a term entered popular discourse. It was there too that much of the early discussion about its nature and causes took place and where the preponderance of historiography on the subject would later appear. The Cold War was from the beginning an American concern. It has never quite been established who coined the phrase. Nor does it much matter. Bernard Baruch, the aging financier and sometime policymaker, used the term in the spring of 1947 but in passing and without any elaboration. By his own subsequent account, Baruch took it from his friend and speechwriter Herbert Bayard Swope, who claimed he had come up with it while considering the socalled Phoney War of 1939–1940, the odd and extended early phase of World War II in Europe when nothing substantial by way of military activity took place. The person who turned it into an integrated part of the political language, however, was the powerful newspaper columnist Walter Lippmann. In the fall of 1947, he published a series of wide-ranging articles on foreign policy that took as their critical starting point an important analysis of the Soviet Union that had appeared in the July issue of Foreign Affairs, the authoritative journal of the foreign policy establishment in the United States. The author, George F. Kennan, was a high official in the State Department, and because the piece was controversial it appeared anonymously under the signature \"\"X\"\"—thus rendering it known and famous subsequently as the \"\"X Article.\"\""

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Are the Causes of Fear of Communism in the US? By Ethan Lazuk For Americans during the Cold War, communism stood for the Soviet Union and was seen as a threat to the American way of life. The fear of communism in the United States was a manifestation of political anxiety over the infiltration of international influences, namely tied to Soviet Russia, during the 20th century. The philosophical basis of this fear was based on the significant differences between capitalism and communism as economic systems, while the most noteworthy historical examples of it were the Red Scare after World War I, Mc Carthyism in the 1950s and the Cold War. Historical Background The American capitalist system emphasizes independent economic production and trading in a free market economy. The opposite is communism, an economic system in which a governing body plans and regulates the economy and responsibility for production is shared equally by a society. Communism as a state ideology emerged in Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918. Led by Vladimir Lenin, this populist uprising toppled the regime of Czar Nicholas II. Previously part of the Social Democratic Labour Party, the Bolsheviks used Lenin's charismatic leadership institutionalize their communist ideology in a new Soviet state. The Red Scare Following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, as well as a series of anarchist bombings on U. S. soil after World War I, the Red Scare began in the U. S. in 1919."

Russia overthrew its traditional government, killed the Czar, his wife, and children and dispossessed its former nobility.

"text": "‘Stranger Things,’ ‘The Americans,’ and Why Cold War Fears Are Making a Comebackby Emma Fraser July 29, 2016SHARE TWEETPanic and paranoia, as a result of the decades sprawling Cold War and atomic anxiety, can be seen in numerous monster and spy films from the period in which this conflict took place. Netflix’s Stranger Things pays homage to a number of these, with nods to Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King among many others, by having a shadowy government be responsible for the havoc which is taking place. An actual monster has come to Hawkins, Indiana, along with these men in suits and lab coats who use national security as an excuse for their dangerous and unethical experiments. Arrogance and bravado cannot keep you safe from what hides in the shadows. Stranger Things is set in November 1983, and this was also the year that Ronald Regan made his ‘Evil Empire’ speech and ABC aired The Day After. It was a fraught period towards the end of the Cold War in which the last vestiges of Communist fears were playing out on screen and behind closed doors. The Americans also deals with this same, latter-day Cold War era that covers Regan’s speech and this seminal TV movie, which highlights their impact politically and in pop culture. The push/pull between both nations and their desire to protect their country comes with deadly risks that produce a monster of a different kind — one that can liquefy your organs and cause a deadly epidemic. Image via Netflix Both series deal with the monsters of the day in different ways, and both show the impact they have on children, and on innocence. So what does it speak to that, in 2016, the popularity of these 80s-styled Cold War and government-inspired monsters are making a comeback?"

"text": "\"The U. S.-Russia “phony war”: How Washington warmongers could bring us from stalemate to catastrophe One of two outcomes is likely: Another long Cold War, or a great power conflict Patrick L. Smith08.08.2015 • 4:30 PM • 149 Comments The Ukraine crisis and the attendant confrontation with Russia assume a “phony war” feel these days. As in the perversely calm months between the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 and the Blitzkrieg into the Low Countries the following spring, nothing much seems to be happening. No one took comfort then—a fog of anxiety suffused everything—and no one should now. One almost prefers it when Washington politicians and other temporarily important people are out there grandstanding and warmongering. At least part of what is occurring is visible, even as the whole never is. Now one sees almost nothing, and we get an idea of what the historians mean when they describe the queasiness abroad during the phony war period. A formidable file of political, diplomatic and military reports has accumulated by drips and drops of late, and it strongly suggests one of two things: Either we are on the near side of open conflict between two great powers, accidental or purposeful and probably but not necessarily on Ukrainian soil, or we are in for a re-rendering of the Cold War that will endure as long as the original. One cannot look forward to either, the former being dangerous and the latter dreary. But it has to be one or the other, barring the unlikely possibility that Washington is forced to accept a settlement that federalizes Ukraine, as Europe and Moscow assert is sensible. It is hard to say when this thought came to me, but it has to be since Secretary of State Kerry’s May meeting in Sochi with President Putin and Sergei Lavrov, his foreign minister."

"text": "What Is a Colorectal Surgeon? Print Colorectal Surgeon Overview Colorectal surgeons, also called colon and rectal surgeons or proctologists, are physicians who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of conditions that affect the lower digestive tract (i.e., the large intestine). Colorectal surgeons undergo extensive education and advanced training. They have comprehensive knowledge about general surgery and in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the colon, rectum, and anus. Colorectal surgeons specialize in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative care of patients with colorectal disorders. Conditions treated by colon and rectal surgeons include the following: Anal abscess, anal fistula, and anal fissure Bowel incontinence Colorectal cancer (e.g., colon cancer, rectal cancer, anal cancer)Colorectal polyps Diverticular disease (e.g., diverticulitis)Hemorrhoids Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)Pelvic floor dysfunction Rectal prolapse (rectocele, proctocele)Colorectal surgeons perform a number of screening and diagnostic tests, including ultrasound, colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, and flexible sigmoidoscopy. They also perform surgical procedures, such as open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery (e.g., colon resection, colectomy, polypectomy) and ostomy (e.g., colostomy, ileostomy). Colorectal surgeons provide patient care as part of a health care team. They work with nurses and other medical professionals (e.g., genetic counselors), as well as with other physicians (e.g., internists, general practitioners, radiologists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, gastroenterologists). Colorectal surgeons usually work in hospitals or surgical centers."

"text": "View all the figures for this chapter. Colonoscopy Editors: Jerome Waye, Christopher Williams & Douglas Rex5. Management of malignant polyps Sidney J. Winawer & Michael O'Brien Synopsis Malignant polyp is a term that is used when a polyp is removed by colonoscopy that appears grossly benign but has adenocarcinoma identified histologically ( Fig. 1 ). The clinical issues in this setting are more difficult than in a patient who has had a surgical resection because of a large sessile polyp or suspected malignancy where a surgical specimen and adjacent lymph nodes are available for staging. The management of patients with malignant polyps has assumed increased importance in recent years as a result of more widespread screening in the general population, and especially with introduction of colonoscopy as a screening option [ 1, 2 ]. A decision must be made in each of these patients whether to consider the colonoscopic polypectomy curative or refer the patient for surgery. This decision is compounded when an asymptomatic person has been induced to have a screening test that uncovers the unsuspected pathology. Management decisions require an assessment of the pathology, risk of adverse outcome, risk of surgery and colonoscopic follow-up, and the available surgical options. There are additional considerations in high-risk patients, e.g. those with a family history suggesting hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), long-standing inflammatory bowel disease, and familial polyposis."

"text": "« Laparoscopic Management of Suspicious Adnexal Masses | Main | Endoluminal Therapies for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Obesity »Patient Preparation for Laparoscopic Surgery Bradford W. Fenton, MD, Ph D, FACOG, Shruti Malik, MDINTRODUCTION“Sweat saves blood.” Although this is a military quotation, its essence is critical to the safe conduct of laparoendoscopic surgery, and indeed all of medicine. With proper preparation, morbidity and mortality can be minimized, and patient outcomes optimized. The topics of this chapter, perhaps more than any other, have been extensively researched in the hope of improving outcomes for the greatest number of patients. Many of these topics are so important that they have been taken out of the hands of practicing surgeons (for better or worse) and are now codified by federal regulatory agencies into institutional mandates. The purpose of this is clear: standardized, checklist driven preparatory protocols have been clearly demonstrated to decrease errors of omission in a number of venues, and the federal government has taken the position that this type of approach is necessary to ensure patient safety across all hospitals and systems. The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) represents a series of guidelines for perioperative care that originated with payors and quality assurance reviewers in an effort to decrease the cost of surgical care by decreasing the incidence of certain expensive complications in the immediate (30-day) postoperative time frame. Over time, it was discovered that decreasing these costs actually translated into better patient outcomes, and thus the program was expanded with the new goal of improving patient safety. Because it has its roots in quality assurance, many of the guidelines have built-in performance measures, which are checklist items designed to allow a nurse or lay reviewer to read through a chart and determine whether an item was or was not done. If a checklist item is not done (for good reason or not), then that incident is flagged and the institution’s failure to comply with the guidelines is noted."

"text": "Ileostomy formation This is an operation to create a stoma or an opening in the ileum (last part of the small intestine), which is stitched to the skin. Ileostomies can be made with just one end of the bowel stitched to the skin, or with two ends of the bowel stitched to the skin. A bag is fitted to the skin around the ileostomy and the patient passes their stools into the bag, which they then empty, and change as required. This operation may be performed on its own, or as part of another operation such as anterior resection of the rectum, ileo-anal pouch procedure or pan-proctocolectomy. What does the operation involve? This operation can be performed as a laparoscopic (keyhole) procedure or an open procedure. An ileostomy is usually made with a spout so that it protrudes a short distance from the abdominal wall, this makes it easier to fit the bags. To make the ileostomy, the surgeon makes a hole through the abdominal wall. If the surgeon is making an ‘end’ ileostomy then just the upper end of the ileum is stitched to the skin. Sometimes the surgeon will form a ‘loop’ ileostomy."

"text": "Side effects of screening colonoscopies According to 'The Annals Of Internal Medicine,' the rate of serious complications from colonoscopy screening is “10 times higher than for any other commonly used cancer-screening test.” This number doesn't include deferred complications, such as internal bleeding, severe anemia, heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, kidney failure, intestinal obstruction, and others. These complications explain why, according to the Telemark Polyp Study I, colonoscopy screening increases relative mortality by 57%. Thus, if you are seriously considering to undergo screening, your odds of being killed or injured by the side effects of colonoscopy may actually exceed your odds of getting colorectal cancer in the first place [ 1 ]. Adding insult to injury, all that prep, fear, risk, expense, embarrassment, and stress are for naught anyway — screening colonoscopy offers near zero protection from colon cancer, as I explain in my Death By Colonoscopy report. What gives? Well, a conventional colonoscopy isn't simply a routine doctor's visit, but an ambulatory surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. According to the same Annals of Internal Medicine, serious complications occur in 0.5% of all cases [ link ]. Unreported medical errors and deferred side effects, such as severe anemia caused by blood loss, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke related to blood clots caused by general anesthesia, pneumonia, persistent post-operative infection, or kidney failure and acute diverticulitis caused by colon prep, may easily add up to another percent or two. If, for argument sake, the combined number of complications, side effects, and medical errors tally up to just 1%, it means that 140,000 people are injured annually by 14 million estimated screenings alone."

Other conditions unrelated to surgery such as hemorrhoids and diverticulosis can result in bleeding. You need to talk with your doctor to clarify what you are noting.

Soehendra & J. Waye Synopsis This chapter describes various techniques that can be employed to assist in the removal of colon polyps that are considered to be large or 'difficult.' Size alone is only one of the features that may cause some hesitation in making the decision to attempt polyp removal. Other factors that are related to the perceived level of difficulty are polyps that are flat and only slightly elevated above the mucosal surface, location on a wall of the colon that is not accessible to the snare, a polyp in a segment of severe diverticular disease or wrapped around a fold in clam-shell fashion. A polyp situated behind a fold can be difficult to approach, and those in the cecum hidden behind the ileocecal valve present a special challenge for resection. These and other problems will be addressed in this chapter as will the localization of lesions or polypectomy sites for future surgery (in the case of malignant polyps) or for reevaluation following total or incomplete polyp removal. The impossible polyp is one which the endoscopist feels cannot be removed. The feeling of futility when faced with such a polyp is directly dependent on the training, experience, and courage of the endoscopist. What may be 'impossible' for one endoscopist may be a relatively 'routine' polypectomy for another."

"text": "Colorectal Surgeon vs. Gastroenterologist Many patients often do not know if they need to see a Colon and Rectal Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist for their symptoms or condition. Moreover, even more are confused as to the difference between a Colon and Rectal Surgeon and a Gastroenterologist. The differences between the two specialties can be quite large. Enjoy what you're reading? Enter your email address to receive posts like this delivered to your inbox.url Because we treat many patients who believed they needed a Gastroenterologist when in fact they need a Colon and Rectal Surgeon, we have decided to explain the differences and correct a few misconceptions. What is a Colon and Rectal Surgeon? A Colon and Rectal Surgeon is a General Surgeon who has undertaken further training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. The term Proctologist is an older term for a Colon and Rectal Surgeon. Colorectal surgeons commonly treat conditions such as rectal cancer or colon cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulitis, and infections of the anus. When medical treatment is unsuccessful, the surgeon will perform the appropriate test or operation, such as a colonoscopy, colectomy or colon resection, a proctectomy or rectal removal, or a hemorrhoidectomy."

Depending on your disease, the first surgery removes a portion of the rectum or your entire rectum and reconnects the bowel to the remaining rectum or the anal muscle.

The second surgery, which usually takes place six to eights weeks later, reverses the \"\"loop\"\" ostomy.

On this episode of Patient Power, sponsored by the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), Dr. Karen Horvath helps to differentiate between cancer of the colon and rectal, or as most of us know it, colorectal cancer. These cancers often get lumped together but Dr. Horvath points out some of the stark differences. Dr. Horvath is professor of surgery and UW Residency Program Director at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. First, Dr. Horvath describes the functions of the colon and rectum and the significant surgical differences for treating each cancer. She talks about treatment approaches including, anal sphincter muscle saving surgery and the mesorectal excision technique. She also addresses when chemotherapy and radiation become necessary, and how radiation therapy before surgery in some groups of patients has been shown to improve survival. Dr. Horvath concludes with tremendous optimism for patients with colon or rectal cancer."

"text": "\"Comics Color Virtually all color printing is done with four colors of ink: yellow, cyan (blue), magenta (red) and black. Every magazine, every newspaper, every brochure – no matter how many different colors appear to be used – are made up of dots of those four colors, the white of the paper, and a process in your brain that makes you see a merged color. This method is called process color printing. The size of the dots – and the resulting amount of white paper that shows between them – determines how light or dark the color is. For 40 years color in the American comic industry used a simple, hand separated 4-color (CMYK) system. The colors were made of three percentages of each of the three printing inks (CMY): A 25% dot, a 50% dot, and a 100% (or solid) color. The possible combinations of these tints gave colorists a palette of 64 possible colors to use in the books, though most used no more than half of them. Many of the darker colors were indistinguishable in print. Limiting the palette to 64 colors kept printing costs down, and were about all that would easily reproduce on the cheap newsprint paper used for comics. Airbrushing and special colors/effects were reserved for covers, which were heavier coated paper stocks.49 colors used by Chemical Color of Derby, Connecticut."

The textile industry is a $1 trillion worldwide business. But textiles are not used just for clothes - they are also in our homes, hospitals, workplaces and vehicles,in the form of cleaning materials, leisure equipment and so on.. Recovering and recycling textiles provides both environmental and economical benefits by: Reducing the need for landfill space: Certain synthetic fibre products do not decompose, while natural fibre such as wool does decompose but produces methane which contributes to global warming. Reducing pressure on virgin resources. This includes materials traditionally used in textiles such as cotton or wool, as well as oil and other chemicals employed to produce synthetic fibres. Reducing pollution as well as water and energy consumption. Reducing the demand for dyes and fixing agents. This, in turn, lowers the number of problems caused by their use and manufacture. Recycling Processes Textile materials for recycling can be classified either aspost-industriala by-product from yarn and fabric manufacture for the garment-making and retail industryas post-consumer, originating from discarded garments, household items, vehicles, etc. The recycling processes are usually as follows: Highly skilled manual sorting is still essential in processing textiles Textile chopping shear for fibre regeneration Sorting: collected textiles are manually sorted and graded according to their condition and the types of fibres used."

Historically, being environmentally conscious towards clothing meant (1) buying clothes from thrift stores or any shops that sell second-hand clothing, or (2) donating used clothes to shops previously mentioned, for reuse or resale. In modern times, with a prominent trend towards sustainability and being ‘green’, sustainable clothing has expanded towards (1) reducing the amount of clothing discarded to landfills, and (2) decreasing the environmental impact of agro-chemicals in producing conventional fiber crops (e.g. cotton). The \"\"three pillars\"\" of sustainability bounded by the environment (earth, life)Under the accordance of sustainability, recycled clothing upholds the principle of the \"\"Three R’s of the Environment\"\": Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, as well as the \"\"Three Legs of Sustainability\"\": Economics, Ecology, and Social Equity. Through the utilization of recycled material for the manufacturing of clothing, this provides an additional realm of economic world profit. Sustainable Clothing will provide a new market for additional job opportunities, continuous net flow of money in the economy, and the reduction of raw materials and virgin resources. Source reduction or reducing the use of raw materials and virgin resources can ultimately reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process as well as the resources and carbon emissions that are related to the transportation process.

"text": "\"Fashion Labeling Laws Page history last edited by mascarenhas@... 9 years, 11 months ago Fashion Labeling Laws Fashion labeling laws are detailed and extensive. The main requirements for labels are found under The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (Textile Act) 1, The Wool Products Labeling Act (Wool Act) 2and The Fur Products Labeling Act (Fur Act) 3. The content of the items being sold will dictate which Act will apply, although the Acts are not necessarily mutually exclusive; more than one Act can apply to a single item. In addition to the Textile, Wool and Fur acts, U. S. Customs has additional requirements for garments being imported into the United States. Some may find these laws to be overly detailed and cumbersome, however, as the specific examples below illustrate, the laws exist in large part to protect the consumer. Consumers deserve to know the content and origin of their fabrics, not only to make sure they are getting what they pay for, but also to ensure they are able to avoid fabrics that may cause an allergic reaction on their skin, or may be objectionable for moral reasons. Additionally, care labels should inform consumers how to best clean their items without causing damage. Not only is violation of the care rules bad business, but also it can result in consumers having to suffer the loss of items ruined after one wash. In terms of the fur labeling requirements, the intense political and emotional feelings some associate with the wearing of fur make details in this rule logical and necessary. In fact, many argue the fur rules do not require enough from garments that contain fur, as there is an exemption for items containing less that $150 worth of fur."

Lead in Paint and Similar Surface Coatings All children's products, and some furniture, for adult and children, must not contain a concentration of lead greater than 0.009 percent (90 parts per million) in paint or any similar surface coatings. Household paint must also meet this requirement. Total Lead Content With a few limited exceptions explained below, all children's products manufactured must not contain more than 100 parts per million (ppm) of total lead content in accessible parts. Where can I find the law that limits lead paint and similar surface coatings in children's products? You can find the law in section 101 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) (pdf) (Public Law 110-314), as modified by H. R. 2715 (Public Law 112-28, August 12, 2011) and in 16 CFR part 1303. What is a paint or similar surface coating material?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Fast fashion is a contemporary term used by fashion retailers to express that designs move from catwalk quickly to capture current fashion trends. [ 1] Fast fashion clothing collections are based on the most recent fashion trends presented at Fashion Week in both the spring and the autumn of every year. [ 2] Emphasis is on optimizing certain aspects of the supply chain for these trends to be designed and manufactured quickly and inexpensively to allow the mainstream consumer to buy current clothing styles at a lower price. This philosophy of quick manufacturing at an affordable price is used in large retailers such as H&M, Zara, Peacocks, Primark, Xcel Brands, and Topshop. It particularly came to the fore during the vogue for \"\" boho chic \"\" in the mid-2000s. [ 3]This has developed from a product-driven concept based on a manufacturing model referred to as \"\" quick response \"\" developed in the U. S. in the 1980s [4] and moved to a market-based model of \"\"fast fashion\"\" in the late 1990s and first part of the 21st century. Zara has been at the forefront of this fashion retail revolution and their brand has almost become synonymous with the term, but there were other retailers who worked with the concept before the label was applied, such as Benetton. [ 5] [6] Fast fashion has also become associated with disposable fashion because it has delivered designer product to a mass market at relatively low prices. [ 7]The slow fashion movement has arisen in opposition to fast fashion, blaming it for pollution (both in the production of clothes and in the decay of synthetic fabrics), shoddy workmanship, and emphasizing very brief trends over classic style. [ 8] Fast fashion has also come under criticism for contributing to poor working conditions in developing countries. ["

Or to look in the mirror and see what used to be your natural hair color – sans the gray? If so, take heart. You're in good company. Color is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting chemical services offered in today's professional hair salons. It has a following as diverse as teenagers aiming to shock with deep blue locks to adults looking to recapture the sun-kissed highlights of youth, or simply erase a few years by covering unwelcome gray. When it comes to self-expression, the times are, indeed, good. Gone are the days when color was considered a hush-hush service – remember the popular advertising slogan, Only her hairdresser knows for sure? Color, you see, has come charging out of the closet.

I guys you've never had to work for tips in any job you held, right? Tipping your hair stylist should be 15% if it is not your normal stylist or your using them for the first time. After that you should be tipping them at least 20%. The more expensive the services you have done, the bigger your tip should be. Just because your style cost $220, doesn't mean he or she is paid $220. The salon has to pay for the water, electricity, hair supplies and so forth.

In this selection from a panel in \"\"Rick and Morty\"\" #21, colorist Katy Farina used a sunset to accentuate Rick's beating at the hands of Doofus Jerry, (c/o Oni Press)Comment By Will Nevin Comics are a uniquely visual medium, with panels often carefully crafted with subtlety and nuance -- only for readers to breeze through them on the way to the next word balloon. Comic artists, whether they pencil, ink, color or undertake some combination thereof, deserve more credit than they often receive, and they certainly can offer valuable insights into understanding the holistic process behind a comic book.c/o CJ Cannon with Ryan Hill, Oni Press The team of artists behind the \"\"Rick and Morty\"\" line of comic books from Oni Press are positioned squarely between work and play -- they're paid to create in a universe that they, like so many fans, love. But the job (like any job) is not always easy. For part five of my million-part series on Oni and its Rickstaverse books, I talked with four artists -- CJ Cannon, Katy Farina, Sarah Graley and Marc Ellerby -- in a series of emails about what it means to create in the comics industry generally and in the \"\"Rick and Morty\"\" universe specifically -- about their process, their gripes and their fun. So much fun. To begin, what do each of you enjoy most about working on the \"\"Rick and Morty\"\" books? Katy Farina, colorist, \"\"Rick and Morty\"\" and upcoming \"\"Pocket Like You Stole It\"\": For me, the team plays a huge part. Everyone is so supportive and funny. I'm also a huge fan of the series, and it's always a blast to work on a property you like."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The label of a coat containing Tencel Mattress with lyocell as cover material Lyocell is a form of rayon which consists of cellulose fibre made from dissolving pulp (bleached wood pulp) using dry jet-wet spinning. It was developed beginning in 1972 by a team at the now defunct American Enka fibers facility at Enka, North Carolina. This development was recognised by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) in 2003 by the awarding of their Henry E. Millson Award for Invention. The operating name for the fibre inside the Enka Organization was \"\"Newcell\"\", and the development was carried through pilot plant scale before the work was halted. The fibre was developed further as Tencel in the 1980s by Courtaulds Fibres in Coventry, UK and at the Grimsby, UK pilot plant. [ 1] The process was first commercialised at Courtaulds rayon factories at Mobile, Alabama (1990) and at the Grimsby plant (1998). In 1998 Courtaulds was acquired by Akzo Nobel, who combined the Tencel division with other fibre divisions under the Acordis banner, prior to selling them off to private equity (CVC Partners). However the structure of Lyocell isn't very apparent online (SM). In 2004 CVC sold the Tencel division to Lenzing AG, who combined it with their \"\"Lenzing Lyocell\"\" business but maintained the brand name Tencel . As of 2013, Lenzing's Tencel brand is perhaps the most widely known lyocell fiber producer throughout the world. ["

On a warm spring night at a Chelsea Piers ballroom on the Hudson River, Fisher was honored by Riverkeeper for her commitment to environmental causes. She was self-deprecating and even apologetic when speaking about the ecological impact of clothing, including garments tagged with her own name. Fisher’s critique may have seemed hyperbolic, but she was spot-on. When we think of pollution, we envision coal powerplants, strip-mined mountaintops and raw sewage piped into our waterways. We don’t often think of the shirts on our backs. But the overall impact the apparel industry has on our planet is quite grim."

"text": "Since litigation lawyers are attorneys who work mainly with lawsuits, the main duty of a litigation lawyer is to take a lawsuit to court and try to win the case. Sometimes, litigation attorneys settle cases out of court, but most lawsuits they receive will be handled by them in court. Civil and criminal are the two types of litigation lawyers. A criminal litigation lawyer works on state or federal prosecution cases, while a civil litigation attorney may specialize in one area or work in many areas that could include landlord - tenant, contract breaches or personal injury lawsuits. Personal injury is a common type of lawsuit handled by litigation lawyers, as they tend to have the necessary courtroom expertise and experience that many other types of lawyers such as tax or traffic attorneys don't have. Business litigation lawyers handle lawsuits for businesses such as a dispute between a shareholder and a partnership or wrongful dismissal cases or contract disputes. A business litigation lawyer in contract disputes thoroughly analyzes the contract and all aspects of the case before considering settlement or litigation. A commercial litigation lawyer may specialize in one area such as real estate and tenant-landlord lawsuits. Real estate litigation lawyers clearly explain legal rights and obligations to clients and point out faults in the construction of leases. Some states such as New York are known for having complicated landlord-tenant laws."

"text": "U. S. Contingency Fees: A Level Playing Field? February 2010The eye popping cost of patent litigation in the U. S. – on average $3 to $10 million – can deter many from fighting cases in court. ( i Stockphotos)By William R. Towns This article by William R. Towns, a Partner and General Counsel at Novak Druce + Quigg LLP, focuses on contingency fee arrangements in the context of patent litigation in the U. S. Mr. Towns is a seasoned attorney and mediator whose litigation and dispute resolution practice concentrates on IP matters. He is a WIPO Approved Neutral and has served as a WIPO Domain Name Dispute Resolution Panelist since 2003. A study of the results of patent litigation at the appellate level revealed that patentees only won some 25 percent of infringement cases from 2002 to 2004. 3 While these statistics might seem to suggest that the scales are tipped in favor of defendants, the eye-popping cost of patent litigation in the United States – on average $3 to $10 million – can deter many accused infringers from fighting cases in court; it may just be less expensive to pay a licensing fee or royalties than to challenge a patent in court. At the same time, plaintiffs increasingly have turned to contingency fee arrangements to spread the risk of such escalating patent litigation costs, a development that has led some to assert that the scales are now tipped decidedly in favor of plaintiffs. Contingency fee arrangements have become a standard practice in the U. S. for financing certain types of civil lawsuits. Under such arrangements, attorneys’ fees are determined by the success of the claim, and usually are calculated as a percentage of the client’s recovery. A fee is charged only if the lawsuit is successful or is favorably settled out of court – a “no win, no fee” arrangement."

"text": "Why Cases Settle – Why Cases Don’t Settle By Leonard J. Frankel, Jerome J. Dobson and Charles E. Reis, IVWhen approached about writing this article my first thought was, of course, I could write an article about why cases do or do not settle. Having conducted approximately three hundred mediations I certainly have my opinions, but I also realize that counsel have their opinions that may well differ from mine. Consequently, it was agreed that this topic should be addressed from three perspectives: the mediator, plaintiff’s counsel and defendant’s counsel. I was thrilled when Jerry Dobson (plaintiff’s counsel) and Chad Reis (defendant’s counsel) agreed to participate. As a mediator I am extremely pleased with the process. I have seen cases settle when after reading the parties’ mediation memorandums I believed there was no way an agreement would be reached. I have had mediations settle when counsel told me neither side wanted to participate but they were only appearing because a court ordered them to mediate. And to the contrary, I have read memorandums and thought to myself, this will be easy to resolve, and then seen parties reach an irresolvable impasse, at least for that day. Although most mediators’ settlement percentages are much higher than that of baseball superstars’ batting averages, we all have cases that, no matter how hard we try, do not settle. The mere fact that the case did not settle does not mean that the mediation was not worthwhile, but that is a topic for another day."

S. § 12-1361 (4) (the definitions section) shows that the statute seeks to control any action [1] (court or arbitration) brought by a purchaser of a \"\"dwelling\"\" (as defined) against the seller related to \"\"the design, construction, condition, or sale [2] of the dwelling.\"\" This is called a \"\"dwelling action. \"\" A \"\"dwelling\"\" is any (i) single or (ii) multi-family unit designed for residential use, including any common area improvements owned by an association or members of an association. \"\" Association\"\" is defined as an entity or unincorporated group created under A. R. S. § 33-1243 (\"\"condominium unit owners association\"\") or by a declaration (does not need to be a recorded declaration, apparently), which group can assess dues to carry out the \"\"operations of a planned community. \"\" For this statute to apply, the seller who is being sued has to be a person or entity \"\"engaged in the business of designing, constructing, or selling dwellings. \"\" A purchaser’s \"\"dwelling action\"\" or suit against a seller for misdeeds related to design, construction, condition of the dwelling, or sale of the dwelling can occur only after the purchaser has followed the Statute’s requirements. If the purchaser-litigant fails to leap over the hurdles correctly, he may be stayed [3] under A. R. S. § 12-1362 for up to 90 days so that compliance can be performed."

"text": "April 29, 2012How Long Does it Take to Settle a Car Accident Case in Georgia?by Christopher Simon How Long Does it Take to Settle an Accident Case in Georgia? Understand that each state is different, but here in Georgia, it depends on healing timetable for your particular injury and the complexity of the case. Here, we will provide information about what you can expect during both the settlement and the litigation phases of a case. As you read, keep in mind that these estimates are based on average amounts of time for common accident cases with typical injuries, so your case may be different. As our hypothetical model, we will use a fairly common car accident case involving the following basic facts:1) $4,000 in property damage 2) defendant driver is clearly at fault in a rear end collision with eyewitness testimony pinning him down.3) Standard insurance carrier behavior as opposed to more belligerent and unrealistic claims practices demonstrated by United Auto, Safeway et al.4) Ambulance transport and basic emergency room care with xrays and whiplash diagnosis. Ambulance: $850. Hospital Bill: $800 (except for Atlanta Medical Center where the bill would be $2,600) Radiology: $175 ER Physician: $300 5) Primary Care Physician follow up and three months of physical therapy with a quality physical therapy practice like Physiotherapy in Atlanta. $4,000.6) Healing to 100% within 4 months of car accident. This represents an optimistic and somewhat common fact pattern. Keep in mind there are endless variations and only the lucky heal up that well, that quickly."

"text": "Separating Myth from Reality: IP Law and Practice Intellectual Property Law Program Professor Cynthia M. Ho, Loyola University Chicago School of Law Myth 1: IP is only for geeks, or those who are recovering geeks Reality: FALSE. IP rights include copyrights, which are owned by pop stars and entertainment companies, ranging from Oprah Winfrey, to Britney Spears and MGM Studios. In addition, IP rights also include trademarks, which are created and used by corporations in all sectors of business; for example, would you rather buy an i Pod, or a Target-brand music player? Similarly, the marks Porsche, Ralph Lauren, and Evian, are not typically associated with geekiness. Nonetheless, those who have been considered (or alleged to be) geeks also may find a comfortable place within IP practice - patent law requires a good understanding of technology, including material that is considered “geeky” to most. Myth 2: It’s easy to get an IP job, because IP law is “hot.” Reality: Did you really buy the Brooklyn Bridge? It’s true that IP law is considered “hot” and that many firms are adding this to their practice area (or already have such a practice). However, that does not mean that is “easy” to get an IP job – especially if everyone is under the (false) assumption that this is the ideal job. Myth 3: It’s easier to get an IP job if you were an engineer, rather than an art historian."

Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below.4210 views Intellectual property (IP) lawyers deal with inventions, creations, and other intellectual and intangible types of property. The term \"\"intellectual property is used in its general sense to describe: A product of the intellect that has commercial value, including copyrighted property such as literary or artistic works, and ideational property, such as patents, appellations of origin, business methods, and industrial processes. Examples of intellectual property are music, books, movies, artwork, product names, logos, slogans and packaging, inventions that qualify for patent protection, and information that is kept secret and not commonly known. When people think of IP lawyers, they usually think of patent attorneys, which is no surprise given that a good majority of IP lawyers are patent attorneys. Patent attorneys, however, are not the only types of IP attorneys. Under the umbrella of IP lawyers also fall trademark, copyright, trade secret, and Internet/e-commerce attorneys. DIFFERENT TYPES OF IP LAW AND IP ATTORNEYS Significantly, where property such as machines may have once been the primary source of a company’s worth, in today’s economy much of a company’s worth comes from the ownership of intellectual property. In general, there are five basic types of intellectual property work that attorneys do. These areas are: a) Patent, b) Trademark, c) Copyright, d) Trade Secret, and e) Licensing."

Patients (or their families) can sue for medical malpractice when their injuries were caused, unnecessarily, by their doctor, nurse, hospital, or other health care providers. To meet the legal definitions of malpractice, the poor care must be more than a mere mistake by a doctor or more than a health care provider’s simply “being human.” Malpractice occurs when the care or treatment falls below accepted community standards. Such substandard care is commonly referred to as “negligent” care. Although medical malpractice most commonly is associated with inattention or carelessness on the part of doctors and other health care professionals, the term also includes reckless or intentional misconduct, ranging from discharging a patient prematurely for financial reasons to performing surgery for which the patient has not consented to sexual assault on unconscious patients. If the victims of such conduct or inaction are able to prove that the provider’s wrongdoing caused their injuries, they will be entitled to a money award to compensate them for what they have lost as a result. Many attorneys will accept such cases on a “contingency fee basis,” that is, taking fees only out of the money they win for you. This area of law is complex and difficult for injured patients because of numerous technical advantages held by the providers (and their insurance companies). It is therefore particularly important in medical malpractice cases to find an excellent attorney to represent you."

Commercial litigation frequently involves accounting issues. For example: How much money was paid to a partner? How much profit did a company obtain from a particular product? Were expenses properly allocated between projects, divisions or contracts? Discovery for accounting issues can be difficult, complex, and extremely expensive. A trial to decide accounting issues can be equally frustrating. One solution may be the appointment of a referee to help decide the accounting issues and participate in the discovery related to those issues. Referee To Decide Accounting Issues Code of Civil Procedure §§638 and 639 give the court the power to appoint a referee to hear and decide accounting issues.

Real estate lawyers deal in real property and mediate real estate transactions gone sour. Some real estate lawyers are highly specialized, litigating fraud cases such as disclosure fraud and mortgage fraud or concentrating on land use, subdivision and zoning laws. Other areas of expertise can be in residential or commercial real estate. Educational Requirements A real estate lawyer must obtain a juris doctorate degree from a school accredited by the American Bar Association along with an attorney’s license through passing the bar exam. Some law schools may provide the option of specializing one’s studies around real estate law. While attending law school, applying for internships with various law firms will help a future real estate lawyer gain the work experience necessary to land one’s job of choice. After graduation, continuing education may be required yearly or every three years as it is so in forty-five states. Not only are employers seeking real estate lawyers with higher education, but they often require several years of real estate transaction preparation and contract negotiation as well."

The term is often associated with tort cases, but litigation can come about in all kinds of cases, from contested divorces, to eviction proceedings. Likewise, most people think of litigation as synonymous with trial work, but the litigation process begins long before the first witness is called to testify. In fact, the vast majority of litigated cases never reach the inside of a courtroom. For those looking to determine if a legal matter falls within the category of litigation, consider whether a lawsuit would solve the matter. If so, the case qualifies as litigation, and an attorney practicing in this area should be retained. If there is no potential for a lawsuit, because there is no controversy or because all of the parties are in agreement, then the issue cannot be described as litigation. Most non-litigation matters, such as property sales, estate planning, business formations, etc.,"

"text": "\"For many disputes, businesses are finding nonjudicial methods of resolution (including arbitration and mediation) increasingly attractive, as these mechanisms are more cost-effective, less time-consuming and less adversarial than traditional litigation. In addition to representing parties in arbitrations, mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), Duane Morris attorneys have experience as third-party neutrals for early case evaluations, as mediators and arbitrators in court-annexed and private proceedings, and in other neutral advisory or decision-making roles. Appropriate case management seeks the best solutions for a client, and may include consideration of mediation, arbitration, mini-trials and other ADR methods. When cases are better suited for traditional litigation, the Duane Morris team has the resources of hundreds of trial attorneys. Benefits of ADRThe benefits of mediation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution derive from their versatility and independence from court bureaucracy. The general concept of ADR has gained wide support among legislatures and courts. Successful ADR programs ensure neutrality, provide a forum for mutual education and encourage the parties themselves, not just their lawyers, to join in the negotiating process. In some instances, ADR may afford quicker resolutions and lower costs than conventional court proceedings. ADR may be particularly appropriate for clients who must maintain or strengthen business relationships with adversaries. Mediation and conciliation, as opposed to adversarial adjudication, may be especially helpful when there are ongoing business ties between potential litigants."

SWA is the largest airline in the United States by number of passengers carried domestically per year (as of December 31, 2007)SWA has carried more customers than any other U.

Southwest Airlines employee motivation is a magnificent-living example of what most companies are striving for. The business press has continuously celebrated SWA outstanding performance. Fortune magazine has called it the most successful airline in history, and it ranks it in the top spots of its 100 Best Companies to work for. Despite the fact that SWA is one of the most highly unionized airlines in the US airline industry, it has consistently enjoyed lower turnover rates than other US airlines, it has high levels of employee motivation and satisfaction, and it has the lowest absenteeism and tardiness rates of any business in the area. In no particular order, here we mention key elements that play a critical role in the Southwest Airlines employee motivation visible fact.7 Key Elements in Southwest Airlines employee motivation1) STRONG SET OF VALUESValues are people’s deep “sacred” convictions about how they must behave themselves – values are behavior guidelines. The SWA set of values are not wishful thinking – on the contrary, this company’s values determine the behavior of all employees at all levels in the organization – not only front line workers must behave according to these values, but especially top management as well, who maintains credibility by walking its talk and keeping 100% its integrity – the values’ discipline is strictly enforced across the company. In SWA, values are mandatory behavior guidelines."

"text": "\"STRATEGY FORMULATIONFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Andres Rodriguez Stated simply, strategy is a road map or guide by which an organization moves from a current state of affairs to a future desired state. It is not only a template by which daily decisions are made, but also a tool with which long-range future plans and courses of action are constructed. Strategy allows a company to position itself effectively within its environment to reach its maximum potential, while constantly monitoring that environment for changes that can affect it so as to make changes in its strategic plan accordingly. In short, strategy defines where you are, where you are going, and how you are going to get there. HISTORYStrategic planning, as a formalized business process, has been in practice for almost 40 years. However, it is commonplace to find that a grand majority of organizations have no clear concept of how to effectively conduct the planning process. As a result, most strategic plans are poorly conceived and do nothing more than sit on a bookshelf; no real impact is ever made on the company and its activities. Fortunately, within the past decade or so, there have been attempts made to clarify the major components and processes of strategic planning. In this respect, it has become easier for ordinary an organization to effectively create and implement a first rate strategic plan. STRATEGY FORMULATIONBasic strategic planning is comprised of several components that build upon the previous piece of the plan, and operates much like a flow chart."

Discuss the barriers that businesses can encounter in adopting sustainable business practices. The sustainable business perspective takes into account not only profits and returns on investment but also how business operations affect the environment, natural resources, and future generations. Sustainability at the business level can be thought of as taking steps, such as recycling and conserving nonrenewable material and energy use to reduce the negative impact of a business’s operations on the environment. While managing operations to reduce negative environmental impact is an important part of business sustainability, these types of activities are increasingly part of a deeper strategic perspective on sustainability for businesses. Businesses implement sustainability in their organization for a variety of reasons.

"text": "Mission Statement vs. Vision Statement By: Jeffrey Glen An important aspect of corporate governance and providing clear messaging to stakeholders is the creation of a mission statement and a vision statement. These are two distinct concepts and this article will provide an understanding of the differences when considering a mission statement vs. a vision statement. Mission Statement A mission statement has a more 'present day' focus and really describes how a company plans on achieving its objectives. This is really a statement to employees, shareholders, and others with an interest in the organization that clearly articulates what an organization is doing, how it's going to do it, and ultimately why it's doing it. For many small businesses this can seem like a trivial item but large organizations spend countless hours, meetings, and dollars considering their mission statement and its significance. Changing a company's mission statement can be a major undertaking with numerous consultations and even external advisors being hired. For any growing business this should underline the significance of creating an effective mission statement, particularly when it's not part of the business model (or not possible) for the owner to personally convey the companies mission to everyone. The key questions to answer in a mission statement include: What does the organization do? Who does the organization service (i.e. customers)? What benefit does the organization provide?"

Posted on March 22, 2008 by Simon Kapenda Every company every where is supposed to and must have a mission statement, which is the heart of the business’s vision and the guide of its operation, as a whole. But how can you come up with a good and captivating mission statement? Most large companies spend thousands of dollars paying ad and marketing agencies to develop and craft their mission statements. Look at some of the world’s largest companies’ mission statements below;Microsoft: “Our mission and values are to help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential. ”But, how does this mission statement directly define in the ways Microsoft helps people and businesses? How and in what ways it helps them realize their full potential? What full potential? A mission statement doesn’t have to be strenuous and complicated to read and understand its meaning, and doesn’t have to be direct and or completely specific to what the company does. A mission statement must be a simple gesture of structured words that embody, embrace and define the goal of the business, an entity, as a whole, both for employees, shareholders, partners and customers."

And, if you’re just looking for a downloadable template to get you started, you can skip ahead anddownload it now. Whether you’re trying to raise money for your business or are developing a plan for strategic growth, a solid business plan is a key component to every successful business.3 rules for writing a business plan:1. Keep it short. Business plans should be short and concise. The reasoning for that is twofold: First, you want your business plan to be read (and no one is going to read a 100-page or even 40-page business plan). Second, your business plan should be a tool you use to run and grow your business, something you continue to use and refine over time. An excessively long business plan is a huge hassle to deal with and guarantees that your plan will be relegated to a desk drawer, never to be seen again.2. Know your audience."

The exact form of a mission statement can vary, but effective mission statements typically include nine elements. Function The mission statement needs to include some description of the function of the business. For example, \"\"to promote industrial excellence,\"\" tells customers and employees nothing.

It is sometimes referred to as a creed, purpose, or statement of corporate philosophy and values. A good mission statement inspires employees and provides a focus and direction for setting lower level objectives. It should guide employees in making decisions and establish what the organization does. Mission statements are crucial for organizations to prosper and grow. While studies suggest that they have a positive impact on profitability and can increase shareholder equity, they also support that almost 40 percent of employees do not know or understand their company's mission.

A mission statement may look simple but it should communicate the core of your organization with a precise statement of purpose. Words should be chosen for meaning and clarity - not technical jargon. How to develop a Mission Statement The Mission statement should be about three sentences long and touches upon these key points. Who we are What we do What we stand for Why we do it A Mission Statement should become a high-level, inspiring statement of the purpose of the organization, it’s responsibilities as an organization, and the purpose behind its existence. It should also satisfy or address four groups: - owner - investor - customers - employees/society. Although a Mission Statement should be developed in the early phase of an organization, it should also set the stage for long-term development, growth of the organization, and eventually how you want to be remembered. Almost every company has one, but fewer have employees that know what the company’s mission actually is. It is important to implement this throughout the organization in order for employees to have clear guidelines.

"text": "Top 10 Essentials to Include in an Employee Handbook February 15, 2012 – Articles One of the most important attributes of any successful business is a relationship built on trust between the employer and the employee. One very important tool to communicate and establish this relationship is through an employee handbook. It is the employee handbook that creates company policies, procedures and expectations that serve to avoid potential conflicts and misunderstandings. Additionally, a well written handbook establishes a structured work environment that builds company loyalty. Alternatively, an employee handbook not drafted properly can be disastrous for a company. Poorly written policies and procedures can cause problems such as creating a hostile environment, to legally binding an organization to commitments it was not aware it made. Whether your first draft, or making revisions to an existing one, the following are 10 essential policies and procedures employers should consider including in their employee handbook: The Disclaimer. The disclaimer is what defines the nature of the employee handbook. It should clearly state that the handbook is not a contract of employment and expressly state the at-will nature of employment. Such a provision is essential to preventing terminated employees from suing an employer for a breach of contract claim, (i.e. that the employee handbook was a contract of employment)."

Because these risks can arise from many sources, the role requires an understanding of many areas of business and the ability to communicate with a variety of financial professionals. Once an offshoot of the accounting department, corporate treasury management has evolved into its own company department and professional body. Read on to learn more about what treasurers are responsible for in their line of work. ( To learn more about other key corporate management roles, read The Basics of Corporate Structure . ) Managing Risk Treasurers manage several key risks related to changes in interest rates, credit, currency, commodities and operations. Companies face some or all of these risks to varying degrees. The most common include: Liquidity Risk Perhaps the most important risk a treasurer must manage is liquidity risk : the company running out of cash either from insufficient revenue, excessive expenditure, or the inability to access funds from banks and other external sources. The inability to meet payment obligations as they are due can mark the end of a company if its creditors sell off its assets to pay corporate debts.

Every organisation needs to be accountable to its members for the use of funds within the organisation. The members of the organisation place their trust in the executive that funds will be used in an honest way to achieve the goals of the organisation. In the same way that you need to keep records of meetings, letters and membership you also have to keep the records of the organisation’s money. Accounting is the system for keeping the records [books] of all the money you collect and all the money that you spend Books have to be properly kept for four reasons: To make sure that the organisation’s executive committee and members can understand exactly what has happened to the organisation’s money. To help the organisation to make realistic plans of what it can spend and to monitor how the spending compares with the budget. For accountability and transparency – most organisations use public or donor money and should be able to show how every cent was spent For security to avoid losing money to mismanagement, corruption or theft Important things to know about accounting and bookkeeping The treasurer of an organisation is usually accountable for all the money and must be able to give monthly statements of the organisation’s money at executive meetings and an annual statement at the AGM.

"text": "\"The Importance of Tithinghonoring God with the firstfruits of your income The tithe is 10% of your income, and it should be given to God faithfully. Tithing honors the Scriptural principles of generously providing for religious leaders, giving to those in need, and laying up treasures in heaven. Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to give the first part of our resources to God as an expression of honor and gratitude. “ Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9–10). Understand the Biblical Basis for Tithing Tithing is mentioned throughout the Old Testament, particularly when God commissioned the Israeli tribe of Levi to serve by caring for the tabernacle and providing spiritual leadership for the nation of Israel. Since the tribe of Levi was given these two unique responsibilities, God did not assign to them a portion of land (as He had assigned portions of land to the other tribes of Israel), but He instructed the rest of the Israelites to bring tithes of their increase to provide for the priests and Levites. ( See Numbers 18. ) In the New Testament, Jesus affirmed the practice of tithing (see Matthew 23:23), and the Apostle Paul encouraged Christians to give to those in need and to those who were ministering in the Gospel (see II Corinthians 9:6–15). When you tithe today, you enable those whom God has called to serve as pastors, missionaries, and ministry personnel to faithfully build up the Church and expand the kingdom of God. Put It Into Practice Tithing is one way to worship God—to honor Him as your provider and remind yourself that all of your resources belong to Him and are provided through His grace."

I cannot locate the list I formulated years ago. Any assistance will be of great help. Regards... Rick Answers Douglas Baskett (Consulting CFO, SBA * Consulting) | Feb 4, 2012Rick,The time to address employee questions is before the acquisition. The acquiring company should be willing to hear employees of the target company from the outset because it is a highly stressful time for them. If questions are not invited and answered forthrightly and honestly, talent will look for the exit before the deal is inked and rumors will fill the vacuum left by the lack of information. One of the best indicators of whether an acquisition will be successful is how well the pre-acquisition employee process is handled. With that in mind, the range of questions is too large to put on paper. If, on the other hand, you're referring to more technical questions such as how to transfer benefits, that is as much a matter of pre-acquisition due-diligence as post-acquisition management. Robert Sheidler (Consultant, Self) | Feb 13, 2012I agree, Douglas Having been part of a number of mergers and acquisitions (on both sides of those transactions), I recognize that the success or failure is often dependent on how well this is done."

"text": "How to introduce a cash pool in your group Sep 2006Related tags: Cash pools are a popular cash management tool, often enabling corporates to achieve cash savings while improving their liquidity management. However, the benefits will depend largely on the suitability of the type of cash pool to the needs of the company, as well as the success of the implementation process. In this article we look at how to establish cash pooling arrangements so that the best possible ‘fit’ is achieved and implementation is as painless as possible. The implementation of a cash pool requires significant investment of both time and resources over the course of several months. If the implementation project is to be a success, it needs to be carefully planned and managed by the treasurer. Preliminary research Please see July/August’s cash management article for more information on the various types of cash pooling services available. The most crucial stage of a cash pool implementation project is the preliminary research. A thorough analysis of the entire cash flows of the group should be undertaken to ensure a full understanding of how each company works – where the cash is and how it flows into, out of and around the organisation. A full review of the current cash management operation will enable you to identify where improvements can be made and what the implementation of a cash pool will achieve. It will also help you to decide the type of cash pooling structure that will be best suited to your company: Physical or notional pooling?"

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions The below information is of general nature and is not state-specific. For state-based information, please visit your applicable state. What is a strata scheme? A strata scheme is a system of multiple ownership of a building or collection of buildings. Each owner owns a portion (called a 'lot'), which is usually an apartment or townhouse, but every owner shares ownership of any common property (e.g. foyers, driveways, gardens) if it is indicated on the title. The multiple ownerships are combined in a legal entity called the owners corporation — or body corporate, strata company or community association, depending on your state or territory of residence. Although the term for an owners corporation varies across Australia, the role of an owners corporation is essentially the same in every state and territory. The owners corporation is responsible for the good management of the strata scheme. All owners can vote on management decisions at an Annual General Meeting (AGM), but decisions are usually made on behalf of the owners corporation by a committee of owners who are elected at the AGM. Some strata schemes also manage the day-to-day financial, maintenance, and other administrative duties themselves, but given these are complex, most choose to use the services of a professional strata manager."

Standing over this depression was a tree whose branches had been cut in a way which looked like it had been used as a pulley. Having heard tales of pirates in the area he decided to return home to get friends and return later to investigate the hole. Over the next several days Mc Ginnis, along with friends John Smith and Anthony Vaughan, worked the hole. What they found astonished them. Two feet below the surface they came across of layer of flagstones covering the pit. At 10 feet down they ran into a layer of oak logs spanning the pit. Again at 20 feet and 30 feet they found the same thing, a layer of logs. Not being able to continue alone from here, they went home, but with plans of returning to search more. It took the three discoverers 8 years, but they did return."

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding\nCompounding",
"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Compounding (disambiguation). Pharmaceutical compounding (done in compounding pharmacies) is the creation of a particular pharmaceutical product to fit the unique need of a patient. To do this, compounding pharmacists combine or process appropriate ingredients using various tools. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose (s) needed or deemed best of particular active pharmaceutical ingredient (s). It may also be done for more optional reasons, such as adding flavors to a medication or otherwise altering taste or texture. Compounding is most routine in the case of intravenous/parenteral medication, typically by hospital pharmacists, but is also offered by privately owned compounding pharmacies and certain retail pharmacies for various forms of medication. Whether routine or rare, intravenous or oral, etc., when a given drug product is made or modified to have characteristics that are specifically prescribed for an individual patient, it is known as \"\"traditional\"\" compounding. Due to the rising cost of compounding and the shortage of drugs, many hospitals have shown a tendency to rely more upon large-scale compounding pharmacies to meet their regular requirement, particularly of sterile-injectable medications. When compounding is done on bulk production of a given formulation rather than patient-specific production, it is known as \"\"non-traditional\"\" compounding (which, as discussed below, is arguably not \"\"compounding\"\" but rather \"\"manufacturing\"\")."

"text": "These pharmacists have specialized knowledge about pharmaceuticals and their use in treating cancer and its comorbidities, and they work collaboratively with the health care team to optimize outcomes. Oncology pharmacists, having historically played a vital role in supporting oncology health care teams, now have expanded their team responsibilities. With the increasing number of oncology drugs forecasted to arrive on the market over the next few years—and with the increasing complexity of many of the new oncology therapies—the demand for motivated, qualified oncology pharmacists will increase as well. A review of what most oncology pharmacists’ responsibilities are today and some of the emergent oncology practice opportunities would be enlightening. Oncology pharmacists have specialized knowledge about pharmaceuticals and their use in treating cancer and its comorbidities. 1 Pharmacists on the oncology health care team work collaboratively to optimize outcomes by ensuring that the correct drug is used in the most appropriate dose for individual patients and in adherence to the correct treatment dosing schedule. “ Dosing schedule” refers to taking the correct drug in the correct dose at the correct time and in concert with concurrent cancer treatment and diagnostic procedures. In addition, today’s oncology pharmacists educate patients and direct caregivers regarding what they should expect from the cancer drugs during the course of treatment. 1,2Managing Complications of Cancer Treatments A particularly important component of this education is how to manage complications of cancer treatment side effects and toxicities. With adequate pre- and post-treatment planning and education, many of these untoward events can be minimized and even self-managed in the home, thus minimizing unscheduled and costly visits to an urgent care center and/or hospital emergency department."

PTCB currently offers two national certification programs for pharmacy technicians, the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPh T) and the Certified Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician™ (CSPT™). Through these PTCB certification programs, pharmacy technicians are able to work more effectively with pharmacists to offer better patient care and service. The following is only a summary of PTCB’s programs. For more information, please visit www.ptcb.org. CPh T Certification To gain CPh T certification with PTCB, pharmacy technicians must meet eligibility requirements, which include a passing score on the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE). Once a pharmacy technician becomes certified, he or she may use the designation “CPh T”. To maintain PTCB certification, CPh Ts must recertify every two years. The purpose of recertification is to ensure that pharmacy technicians stay up-to-date in pharmacy practice through the completion of 20 hours of Continuing Education (CE). Official PTCB Practice Tools The Official PTCB Practice Exams have been constructed to familiarize candidates with the Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination (PTCE)."

"text": "Fatal 1,000-fold overdoses can occur, particularly in neonates, by transposing mcg and mg From the September 6, 2007 issue In October 2006, an infant received a lethal dose of zinc stemming from an error that occurred during the order entry and compounding of a TPN solution. While not privy to a full root cause analysis, ISMP has learned details about the event (1-3) which are offered below in the sincere hope that the lessons learned from this tragic event will be applied in hospitals across the nation to prevent similar tragedies. Summary of the Event TPN was prescribed for a preterm infant born at 26 weeks gestation. On the day of the event, the physician’s TPN order included directions to add zinc in a concentration of 330 mcg/100 m L. Because the automated compounder used for TPN required entry of zinc in a mcg/kg dose, the pharmacist converted the mcg/m L dose to a mcg/kg dose. She performed this calculation correctly, but accidentally entered the zinc dose in the pharmacy computer in mg, not mcg. This resulted in a final concentration of 330 mg/100 m L—a 1,000-fold overdose. Another pharmacist checked the work and product labels that were printed for preparation of the TPN, but she did not notice the mcg to mg error. A pharmacy technician prepared the TPN using a 500 m L bag. The technician had to replenish the compounder syringe that contained zinc 11 times while preparing the solution, which required dozens of vials of zinc sulfate. Several TPN additives had to be added manually, which the technician prepared and brought to a third pharmacist to check before adding them to the solution."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy ( BHRT ), also known as bioidentical hormone therapy or natural hormone therapy, is the use of hormones that are identical on a molecular level with endogenous hormones in hormone replacement therapy. [ 1] It may also be combined with blood and saliva testing of hormone levels, and the use of pharmacy compounding to obtain hormones in an effort to reach a targeted level of hormones in the body. A number of claims by some proponents of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy have not been definitively established through scientific testing. Specific hormones used in BHT include estrone, estradiol, progesterone (which are available both in FDA-approved manufactured products and as pharmacy-compounded products), testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (both testosterone and DHEA have some stringent limits placed on their availability and approval in Canada and the United States), and estriol (which is available in Europe but is not approved in Canada and the United States). Custom-compounded BHT is a practice almost wholly restricted to the United States. [ 2] BHT is a form of alternative medicine. It has been promoted as a panacea for many diseases and for relieving the symptoms of menopause, beyond the medical objective of reducing the risk of osteoporosis. There is little evidence to support these incremental claims; the hormones are expected to have the same risks and benefits of comparable approved drugs for which there is evidence based on extensive research and regulation. The exception is progesterone, which may have an improved safety profile than artificial progestogens, though direct comparisons with progestins have not been made. Risks associated with the less-controlled process of compounding bioidentical hormones are not clearly understood."

Rumore, Pharm D, JDAuthor information ► Article notes ► Copyright and License information ►This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Go to: INTRODUCTIONTwelve percent of all births in the U. S. are premature. 1Preterm births have increased by 27% over the last decade in the U. S., accounting for 85% of all perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm delivery is defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation. The steady increase in premature births is a public health concern because it is associated with increased infant mortality as well as long-term social and educational costs. Predisposing risk factors for preterm delivery include a documented history of a previous singleton preterm delivery after less than 37 weeks of gestation, multiple gestations, short cervical length, body weight less than 50 kg (110 pounds), bleeding, and African-American ancestry. 1 The most common risk factor is a history of preterm birth. 1 According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), women with a singleton pregnancy and a documented history of spontaneous birth at less than 37 weeks or premature rupture of the amniotic membrane should be offered progesterone supplementation. 2Go to: CURRENT THERAPYTwo progesterone dosage forms are used to reduce pre-term labor––natural progesterone administered vaginally, and 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P), a synthetic pro-gestin, administered via the intramuscular (IM) route."

A survey identified 112,000 pharmacists in community pharmacy (66,000 in chains; 46,000 in independents), 40,000 in hospitals, and 21,000 in consulting, government, academic, industry and other settings. Historically, educational requirements for pharmacists included the choice of two entry-level degrees: a five-year Bachelor of Science in pharmacy (BS Pharmacy) or a six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D). However, as of the year 2000, most schools of pharmacy began offering only the Pharm D degree. This extensive training makes the pharmacist the most knowledgeable health care professional when it comes to medicines and their use. Medicines today have great power to heal and to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans. But medicines also may do serious harm if not taken correctly. This is where the role of the pharmacist is most important. You should choose your pharmacist as carefully as you choose a physician. It is best to use only one pharmacy so all medication records are at one location."

"text": "Generally, there are two types of veterinary pharmacists, veterinary pharmacists and veterinary pharmacist specialists, but the main responsibilities and duties are the same. A pharmacist dispenses medications per a veterinarian's instructions, including compounds, or combinations of medications. Traditionally, a pharmacist worked directly with a veterinarian doing menial jobs and occasionally dispensing medicine, but modern pharmacist specialists have expanded their field of expertise to include other skills, such as pain management, dispensing for online pharmacies, and pharmacokinetics, which is the study of what a body does to a drug. Veterinary pharmacists are also responsible for understanding and complying with all legalities concerning the dispensing of drugs. Some pharmacists extend their education and advance to teaching positions, research scientists, and regulatory agency officials. The field of veterinary medicine grew considerably in the last half of the 20th century. Veterinarians traditionally mixed and dispensed the medications or trained their assistants to do so. The role of the veterinary pharmacist gained popularity as animal medicines and the regulations governing the use of medicines became more complicated. Although there are several areas of employment in the veterinary medicine field, most veterinary pharmacists work for a veterinarian or at a veterinary pharmacy. Ad Those veterinary pharmacists who work for a veterinarian or group of veterinarians generally deal with only one type of animal or a specific category of animals."

Glucose is a type of sugar your body uses for energy. Electrolytes keep your body's fluids in balance. They also help keep your body working normally, including your heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function. The kidneys help keep the right balance of water, salts, and minerals in the blood. They also filter out waste and other unneeded substances from the blood. The liver helps with digestion and produces some vitamins and other substances that the body needs. It also controls the amounts of glucose, protein, and fat in the blood and releases substances that keep your immune system healthy. Your doctor may order a comprehensive metabolic panel as part of a regular health examination. Your doctor may use this test to check on a medical condition, such as high blood pressure, or to help diagnose a medical condition, such as diabetes."

Don’t be fooled by its slogan “Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. ”Sucralose was approved for use in foods as a sweetener in 1998. Before approving sucralose, the FDA claimed to have reviewed 110 human and animal studies, but it turns out that only 2 out of those studies were actually on humans. “It is a chlorinated artificial sweetener in line with aspartame and saccharin, and with detrimental health effects to match,” explains Dr. Joseph Mercola.

"text": "Signs And Symptoms of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency Diagnosis of AGHDUntil several years ago, the growth hormone stimulation test (GHST), which measures the capacity of the pituitary to produce growth, was considered the principal criteria for the diagnosis of AGHD. During the past several years, the accuracy of the GHST to determine whether a person has AGHD has been increasingly questioned because of test variability and and increasing acceptance of IGF-I being of significant diagnostic value in combination with the GHST, the phenotype (physical and mental characteristics, the medical history, as described above; and, increased understanding that, in the absence of a clearly defined organic cause for AGHD, the unique physiology of each person being evaluated, makes the diagnosis of AGHD complex and varied. Adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a multifactorial disorder in which pituitary dysfunction associated with pituitary adenomas or their treatment plays a major role. The concept of partial GHD, recognized by paediatric endocrinologists for many years, is being now being examined in adults for an association between hypothalamic-pituitary disease and metabolic and anthropometric abnormalities in persons whose GH range from severe GHD to non-GHD levels. Partial GHD, however, becomes more difficult to diagnosis in the presence of obesity, increasing age, and in the absence of additional pituitary hormone deficits. Adults with GHD can have a variety of signs and symptoms, which include abnormality body composition with increased fat mass (especially central adiposity), decreased lean muscle mass, extracellular fluid volumn, dimished muscle strength, physical energy and stamina, lack of motivation, lethargy, lability (changes in mood), depression, and impairment of congitive functions. Comprehensive biochemical testing may reveal the following conditions that are also markers for AGHD: lipid imbalance, athersclerosis, obesity, increased LDL cholesterol and reduced insulin sensitivity, and metabolic syndrome. An MRI scan may reveal a structural abnormality or tumor in the brain. A pulmonary function test may reveal dimished lung respiratory muscle capacity. A DEXA dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan may reveal osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture."

Patients must fast prior to the procedure, and they may be required to stop taking medications in advance of the test. Blood chemicals that are analyzed include blood urea nitrogen, carbon dioxide or bicarbonate, creatinine, glucose, sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and albumin, explains Healthline. Abnormal test results occur when chemical levels are either too high or low and may indicate a serious medical condition, such as kidney disease, diabetes or diabetes-related complications, lung disease, certain heart issues, or problems with the pancreas and insulin metabolism, states Healthline."

"text": "Burn face masks A transparent face mask, sometimes called a TFO or “transparent facial orthosis”, is a see-through mask that is worn when a person’s face burn is making scar tissue or is at risk to scar. By applying pressure to the burn or scar, the face mask keeps the skin soft and flat during the scar forming phase of healing. It helps the face heal with the least amount of scarring. The transparent face mask is worn 18-20 hours every day for 8 months to 2 years until the skin graft is mature. The use of a transparent face mask was invented in 1975 by Elizabeth Rivers, an Occupational Therapist working at the Regions Hospital Burn Center. It has advantages over a fabric face mask in that it is less visible when a patient is wearing it than the fabric hood. Also, therapists are able to see how well the mask is compressing the scars and make modifications to it as needed. This is a new face graft right after the graft was done. This is a person with a face graft that is mature, about two years after the injury. The skin graft is done healing."

Although survival rates and neurologic outcomes are poor for patients with cardiac arrest, early appropriate resuscitation—involving early defibrillation—and appropriate implementation of post–cardiac arrest care lead to improved survival and neurologic outcomes. Delivery of chest compressions. Note the overlapping hands placed on the center of the sternum, with the rescuer's arms extended. Chest compressions are to be delivered at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. View Media Gallery Delivery of mouth-to-mouth ventilations. View Media Gallery Indications and contraindications CPR should be performed immediately on any person who has become unconscious and is found to be pulseless. Assessment of cardiac electrical activity via rapid “rhythm strip” recording can provide a more detailed analysis of the type of cardiac arrest, as well as indicate additional treatment options. Loss of effective cardiac activity is generally due to the spontaneous initiation of a nonperfusing arrhythmia, sometimes referred to as a malignant arrhythmia. The most common nonperfusing arrhythmias include the following: Ventricular fibrillation (VF)Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)Pulseless electrical activity (PEA)Asystole Pulseless bradycardia CPR should be started before the rhythm is identified and should be continued while the defibrillator is being applied and charged."

Sure, everyone knows that you have to use supplemental oxygen if you fly more than 30 minutes at cabin pressure altitudes of 12,500 feet or higher. That at cabin altitudes above 14,000 feet pilots must use oxygen at all times. And that above 15,000 feet each occupant of the aircraft must be provided supplemental oxygen. All of this is spelled out in Federal Aviation Regulations Part 91.211. So are the rules for oxygen use in pressurized airplanes, which are governed by the times necessary to descend to safe altitudes in the event of a cabin depressurization. ( Above FL250, a 10-minute supply; between FL350 and FL410, one pilot must wear a mask if cabin pressures rise above 14,000 feet msl — unless there are two pilots at the controls and they have quick-donning masks available. From textbooks and stories of — or direct experience with — sessions in FAA-approved altitude chambers, pilots also know something about the dangers of hypoxia (insufficient oxygen) at altitude.

Maybe the Best Bet is Nothing at All By Rod Brouhard, EMT-PUpdated June 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Masks like these are very hard to use correctly. A reader asks what the best type of CPR mask a lay rescuer should use when doing mouth-to-mouth. He is concerned that a barrier device, supplied with an AED he and his wife purchased for their home, would be difficult to use. He asks if one of the many other products available would be better for him and his wife to use, should they need to perform CPR. First, it's important to realize that a CPR mask, officially known as a barrier device, is for keeping you -- the rescuer -- safe. It doesn't make rescue breaths more effective than straight mouth-to-mouth. Also, most rescuers aren't going to give rescue breaths anyway. The American Heart Association no longer recommends mouth to mouth during adult CPR. For an intimate partner or immediate family member, a barrier device is almost never necessary unless the patient is known to have an infectious disease."

It is the result of small lesions or inflammation of the skin. They are formed when sebaceous glands become clogged and infected leading to swollen bumps, red lesions filled with pus [ 1, 2 ]. The bacteria that cause pimple are present in everyone’s skin. However, 1 in 5 people is lucky enough to get only an occasional pimple in a life time.“ We learned that not all acne bacteria trigger pimples — one strain may help keep skin healthy ,” said Huiying Li, an assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Pimples can appear on anywhere on the body. However, pimples or bumps that appear on or around your lips (including lip corners, side of the lip, upper lip, lower lip or inside/inner lip) are the most irritating and ugly ones.

When fire and high concentrations of oxygen come into contact with each other, extremely rapid burning can result. Because of this, it is important that oxygen is not used around fire or in an environment where there's a potential for sparks. In both the hospital and home settings, display an \"\"oxygen in use\"\" sign on the patient's door or the front door of the home to notify visitors and other family members that oxygen is in use and they must take extreme caution. Depending on the setting, oxygen is supplied in different ways. In inpatient settings, oxygen is usually stored in large holding tanks outside of the building and piped in to patient rooms via outlets on the wall that are located behind the patient's bed."

Download at mulesoft.com2 Answers Joe Zbiciak, Employed Answered May 4, 2016 · Author has 942 answers and 2.5m answer views First, let's recap what lossless compression means. It means, quite simply, that when you compress the data, and later decompress the data, the output from decompression exactly matches your input. That seems pretty straightforward, but it's still a bit amazing: You can take data and make it smaller without losing anything. Later, you can restore precisely what you had before you compressed. The reason this works at all is that most things you might want to compress have redundancies, and so the compressor takes advantage of that. An ideal lossless compressor (if one were to exist) would reduce the data to a size equal to the actual information content of that data. Some data wouldn't compress at all, mind you. With this hypothetical ideal compressor, some inputs might grow by 1 bit—a bit that indicates the file was \"\"compressed\"\" by the ideal compressor. So, what about a lossy compressor?"

[ 1] This can include for low blood oxygen, carbon monoxide toxicity, cluster headaches, and to maintain enough oxygen while inhaled anesthetics are given. [ 2] Long term oxygen is often useful in people with chronically low oxygen such as from severe COPD or cystic fibrosis. [ 3] [1] Oxygen can be given in a number of ways including nasal cannula, face mask, and inside a hyperbaric chamber. [ 4] [5]Oxygen is required for normal cell metabolism. [ 6] Excessively high concentrations can cause oxygen toxicity such as lung damage or result in respiratory failure in those who are predisposed. [ 2] [7] Higher oxygen concentrations also increase the risk of fires, particularly while smoking, and without humidification can also dry out the nose. [ 1] The target oxygen saturation recommended depends on the condition being treated. [ 1] In most conditions a saturation of 94–98% is recommended, while in those at risk of carbon dioxide retention saturations of 88–92% are preferred, and in those with carbon monoxide toxicity or cardiac arrest they should be as high as possible. [ 1] Air is typically 21% oxygen by volume while oxygen therapy increases this by some amount up to 100%. ["

It’s often considered a basic procedure, but there is nothing “basic” about BVM ventilation. Skill acquisition requires extensive training and experience. It’s not pretty, sexy, or glamorous. Most people perform it poorly even though it’s an essential part of good airway management. We often relegate the skill to a new or junior provider, and when the saturation drops we attribute it to the patients’ acuity and not to failure to provide adequate oxygenation and ventilation. The AHA recognizes that bag mask ventilation “is a challenging skill that requires considerable practice for competency. ”When performed in an emergency, respiratory failure or arrest is often imminent. Because it is a BLS skill we toss a BVM to our partner while we prepare our intubation equipment. The mask is placed on the patient’s face and ventilations are administered too aggressively or ineffectively."

Even though other portable inhaling devices are less expensive, some children simply do not respond well to them. A compressor is powered electrically and sends air to a nebulizer chamber. Using the compressed air, the nebulizer then converts the liquid asthma medicine into an aerosol (mist) form. The aerosol is breathed in either with a mask or a mouthpiece. How to use a compressor Get the compressor ready Put the compressor on a clean table or counter. Plug in the machine.

Skin-Diving, The Essential Foundation to SCUBA Diving What is skin-diving and why do I have a topic devoted to it on a scuba web site? Skin diving in my opinion is the ultimate gateway sport to scuba diving and provides an excellent foundation from which to learn the sport. Where skin-diving used to be mastered in scuba training it is now glossed over all too frequently leaving students overwhelmed with new equipment and lacking in basic skills. First Some Definitions Snorkeling, skin-diving and free-diving are terms that are frequently interchanged and one would be hard pressed to find formal definitions that differentiate between the 3 terms. In context some definition is possible but anyones execution of the sport can blur the lines and that's just fine. Snorkeling as the name implies involves breathing through a snorkel while observing the underwater world through a dive mask and propelling ones self with dive fins. A snorkeler may be in a swimsuit or be wearing any level of sun, sting or thermal protection. The sport is generally a passive sight seeing pursuit. The snorkeler may dive down while holding one's breath to get a closer look at things but it's primarily a surface sport."

Equipped with mask and fins, they can observe the underwater world, while covering large distances, powered by their fins. But most snorkellers stay on the surface, unable to go down. This chapter teaches you the techniques to go down and 'stay down' for long enough to completely change your snorkelling experience. Anyone can do it, and once you've mastered it, you've mastered a skill for life, for you can do it anywhere in the world where the water is clear enough. A mask and fins then permanently belong to your travel suitcase. Read on, then try it out and don't ever give up!. Introduction I have always loved to swim in the open waters of rivers, lakes and the sea. But since I've learned how to snorkel dive with mask and flippers, my fascination for the underwater world has become unstoppable. With my mask I can clearly see what lives down there and my flippers give me the power to swim far and safely and to go deep and return safely to the surface.

Architecture is the study of building design, construction techniques, and the materials to create homes, buildings, public spaces and outdoor areas. Professionals working in the field may specialize in a particular type of building, such as residences, or in a specific area of the field, such as drafting or construction project management. Architect Architects design commercial buildings, homes and structures that meet the needs of clients for appearance, safety, comfort, budget and compliance with government regulations. The design includes plans for heating and ventilation, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning systems. Architects may also work with clients to evaluate construction bids and choose contractors. During the construction phase of a building project, architects may monitor the work to ensure that the contractor follows the design, uses the correct materials and meets the construction schedule. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, architects must have a professional degree in architecture, experience in the field and pass the Architect Registration Examination to work in the field. Drafter Architectural drafters work with architects and engineers to create the drawings used in a building design and plan. Drafters usually work under the supervision of an architect and use tools such as computer-aided design and drafting software to create the drawings."

"text": "A construction engineer prepares blueprints and oversees building efforts on large-scale construction projects. Most professionals specialize by working on particular types of structures, such as highways or skyscrapers. With the assistance of engineering technicians and drafters, engineers are able to design schematics for safe, functional buildings and roads. A construction engineer may be employed by a private contracting company, a municipal government agency, or a large construction firm. Before the design phase of a project begins, a construction engineer carefully reviews land maps and survey information to make sure an area is stable enough to support a structure. He or she then works with geotechnical and civil engineering experts to get a basic idea of which materials and construction methods would be the most appropriate to use. Rough blueprints are usually submitted to the landowners, who make the decision about whether or not to go ahead with a project. Once plans are in place, he or she can begin revising blueprints. Most construction engineers work with computer-aided drafting ( CAD) programs to produce schematics and simulations. CAD software allows engineers to easily make adjustments to their measurements and calculate important figures."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Technical draw. Drafter at work Copying technical drawings in 1973Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed. Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual language and help to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand. Many of the symbols and principles of technical drawing are codified in an international standard called ISO 128. The need for precise communication in the preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual arts. Artistic drawings are subjectively interpreted; their meanings are multiply determined. Technical drawings are understood to have one intended meaning. [ 1]A drafter, draftsperson, or draughtsman is a person who makes a drawing (technical or expressive)."

In most cases, computer engineers can find employment within financial services, computer manufacturers, chemical companies, defense contractors, technical consulting, electronic manufacturing, and research services. Computer engineers usually can be found fulfilling their duties in high-tech manufacturing firms or research laboratories that build various types of computer models. Computer engineers have the option of moving into hardware or software positions as well as an equal blend of the two. Although the majority of computer engineers work full-time schedules, around one-third are required to work more than 40 hours per week with irregular hours outside the normal workday to meet tight design deadlines. In order to ensure that computer hardware components are properly working together with the latest software developments, it is often necessary for computer engineers to work with software developers during their workday. Skills Needed to Be a Computer Engineer Due to the complexity of working daily with computer hardware and software systems, it is normally required that computer engineers possess at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited computer engineering or computer science program."

What does a computer engineer do? Monday, October 18, 2010I’m often asked by potential future students and (sometimes) their parents the question “What does a computer engineer (CE) do?”. That’s always a hard question to answer for me because CE’s have a broad opportunity spectrum (in my opinion). Even this weekend I’ve received an email from a local high school student asking “how many hours a CE works” and “Is it stressful” and also “what do you enjoy the most?”So what do CE’s do? The heart of the field would be the design of computer systems (from individual chip components to aggregation of other computer subsystems) for use in all kinds of systems. It’s to think about something that hasn’t been implemented with a built-in computer system these days. Shoes have them (See Nike), phones are computers, doors, ticket takers use them, stock boys have them to count more quickly, cruise ship directors use them to track guests, I even saw a computer table top built for Catan (the best board game on the planet), All those things had to designed by someone and it was probably a computer engineer…But that’s not all they do.. The knowledge required to do that enables them to do other things too. They can work as programmers, software engineers developing huge programs for companies, network engineers (like what I did), operating system developers, IT support staff, consultants, and a few even go into things like sales and (even—gasp) teaching!"

Answer by Caedes Confidence votes 40A CNC operator, as the name suggests operates a CNC (computer numerical control) machine, usually this includes loading and unloading workpieces, checking workpieces, setting program datums, setting up jigs and fixtures, replacing worn or broken tooling, cleaning swarf from the machine and basic machine maintenance. Some operators also do programming although this is usually limited to altering a program to suit the tools being used; for example altering a program to give the correct drill depth after changing the drill. The exact duties of a CNC operator varies from one machine shop to another. A CNC programmer actually writes the program that runs the machine although this job is increasingly done by software.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

A programmer is tasked with creating the code that makes a program run, whereas a software engineer is responsible for designing, developing and implementing the software solutions programmers create. By U. S. law no person may use the title \"\"engineer\"\" (of any type) unless the person holds a professional engineering license from a state licensing board and is in good standing with the board. A software engineer is also held accountable to a specific code of ethics. Software Engineer Job Description and Requirements The role of a software engineer, or computer software engineer, is to develop highly functional, solution-based software processes and solutions that address specific needs within an organization or department. These software solutions need to have been thoroughly tested for accuracy and security before implementation, and they need to comply with current coding standards and operating procedures.

"text": "Check Engine Lights – What Will Turn Them Off One of the most asked questions that I get each day is “my check engine light came on today, what can I do to turn it off”. It’s a great question, and one that needs a little explanation….so here it goes. First, lets talk about the color of the light that has come on. Think of your dashboard as a traffic signal, Yellow meaning caution, and RED meaning stop immediately – danger!YELLOW LIGHTS – Service engine soon, check engine, Anti lock brake system, low washer fluid, low tire pressure, traction control, air bag, taillight bulb out warning are all common yellow warning indicator lights. RED LIGHTS – low oil pressure, engine overheating, brake problems, low battery voltage are all common red warning indicator lights. Yellow means, at your convenience get a mechanic to hook up their computer to your vehicle computer and read the “codes” that might be stored on your computer memory to determine what has happened. Usually a yellow light will not leave you stranded, or cause the engine to not start. It’s a caution message from your onboard computer saying …”something weird has happened and I need you to look into this when you have a minute”. Now, yellow does not mean just continue driving as normal for months putting this warning off and off and off, but you don’t have to stop what you are doing and head to the mechanic either. Red means STOP, like STOP NOW!"

John Constable John Constable by Daniel Gardner, 1796Born 11 June 1776 East Bergholt, Suffolk, East Anglia, England Died 31 March 1837 (aged 60) Charlotte Street, London, England Nationality English Known for Landscape painting Notable work Dedham Vale (1802); The Hay Wain (1821)Movement Romanticism John Constable, RA ( / ˈ k ʌ n s t ə b əl, ˈ k ɒ n -/; [1] 11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English Romantic painter. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home — now known as \"\"Constable Country\"\" — which he invested with an intensity of affection. \"\" I should paint my own places best\"\", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, \"\"painting is but another word for feeling\"\". [ 2]His most famous paintings include Wivenhoe Park of 1816, [3] Dedham Vale of 1802 and The Hay Wain of 1821. Although his paintings are now among the most popular and valuable in British art, Constable was never financially successful. He did not become a member of the establishment until he was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of 52. His work was embraced in France, where he sold more works than in his native England and inspired the Barbizon school.

"text": "\"Can politics and policing work together? Mark Easton Home editor@BBCMark Easton15 February 2012 Share PAThe home secretary is shaking up police structures The point of police and crime commissioners, we are told, is to increase the democratic accountability of the 41 police forces in England and Wales outside London. Ministers felt police authorities were not sufficiently responsive to the demands of an anxious citizenry. Chief constables needed someone with electoral clout to connect them to the people, to keep them honest. Elections will be held in November and the first potential candidates are emerging. The concern, however, is that this American-inspired model of police accountability may not translate easily into English or Welsh. The principles enshrined by the father of our modern police force, Sir Robert Peel, are to be found in the General Instructions given to the first Metropolitan Police officers in 1829. Number five of nine states that it is the duty of officers \"\"to seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion; but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing\"\". British tradition has it that, to retain its legitimacy, the police service cannot allow itself to be politicised. Accountable, yes."

Formed in 1840, two years following the abolition of slavery, the law enforcement efforts of the Royal Bahamas Police Force were primarily land-based until 1958. It was during that year when the organization received their first boat, The Sea Lion, and was able to perform limited harbour patrol duties. Until Independence, sporadic patrols were performed by units of the Royal Navy. The Police Marine Division The Police Marine Division (PMD) was formed in 1971 with the acquisition of four 60 foot Mark I Keith Nelson type vessels- Acklins, Andros, San Salvador and Eleuthera. What was its purpose, location and why was it disbanded? The Police Marine Division was tasked with eradicating the escalated 1960s flow of narcotics and illegal immigrants, particularly from Haiti into Bahamian territory. The Police Marine Division operated from the Old Lighthouse Depot, on East Bay Street, which currently serves as the home base of the Drug Enforcement Marine Unit. The Marine Division experienced several successes in both the immigration and poaching trends. An increasing narcotic trade and its shipment through Bahamian waters were also brought to light in the 1970s."

ICT provides students the opportunity to be educated alongside their non-disabled peers with the full or part-time support of a special education teacher to assist in adapting and modifying instruction. As described in the NYC Continuum of Services for Students with Disabilities, Integrated Co-Teaching “ensures that students master specific skills and concepts in the general education curriculum, as well as ensuring that their special education needs are being met, including meeting alternate curriculum goals. ”The title of the services was changed from Collaborative Team Teaching to Integrated Co-Teaching when the service was incorporated in the New York State continuum of services.

In New York City, the special education teacher must be certified/licensed and appointed in special education and the general education teacher must be certified/licensed and appointed under a general education or content area license. The general education or content area teacher has primary responsibility for delivery of content area instruction in an ICT class.

Harris Table of Contents Thinking About Curriculum Everywhere today, curriculum planners are being asked to determine how to implement state standards and other issues when addressing their curricula. But how to go about that? The intent of this revised introductory chapter is to provide an overview of curriculum, so that the subject-specific chapters that follow can be viewed from a broader perspective. The chapter begins by providing a knowledge base for the process of developing curricula. The chapter also analyzes curriculum work at the state, school district, school, and classroom levels. An additional section, Putting Standards to Work in Schools, has been included in this revised chapter to outline the ways in which standards can be incorporated into curricula (see pages 39-57). Curriculum Concepts While curriculum planners have tried for decades to define curriculum—often with very little guidance—two approaches can resolve the debate. The first is to use a simple definition that reflects how most educational leaders use the term: Curriculum is the skills and knowledge that students are to learn. A more complex approach is to analyze the several sources of curriculum; from this perspective there are eight different kinds: The recommended curriculum derives from experts in the field. Almost every discipline-based professional group has promulgated curriculum standards for its field."

In every early childhood setting, children should experience effective, research-based curriculum and teaching practices. Such high-quality classroom practice requires policies, organizational supports, and adequate resources that enable teachers to do this challenging and important work. The challenges Throughout the early years of life, children notice and explore mathematical dimensions of their world. They compare quantities, find patterns, navigate in space, and grapple with real problems such as balancing a tall block building or sharing a bowl of crackers fairly with a playmate. Mathematics helps children make sense of their world outside of school and helps them construct a solid foundation for success in school. In elementary and middle school, children need mathematical understanding and skills not only in math courses but also in science, social studies, and other subjects. In high school, students need mathematical proficiency to succeed in course work that provides a gateway to technological literacy and higher education [1-4]. Once out of school, all adults need a broad range of basic mathematical understanding to make informed decisions in their jobs, households, communities, and civic lives. Besides ensuring a sound mathematical foundation for all members of our society, the nation also needs to prepare increasing numbers of young people for work that requires a higher proficiency level [5, 6]. The National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century (known as the Glenn Commission) asks this question: \"\"As our children move toward the day when their decisions will be the ones shaping a new America, will they be equipped with the mathematical and scientific tools needed to meet those challenges and capitalize on those opportunities?\"\" [ 7, p. 6]Since the 1970s a series of assessments of U. S. students' performance has revealed an overall level of mathematical proficiency well below what is desired and needed [5, 8, 9]. In recent years NCTM and others have addressed these challenges with new standards and other resources to improve mathematics education, and progress has been made at the elementary and middle school levels--especially in schools that have instituted reforms [e.g., 10-12]. Yet achievement in mathematics and other areas varies widely from state to state [13] and from school district to school district."

Collaborative planning between content and arts educators is valued and scheduled intentionally. Professional development for teachers and arts educators is provided in arts integration strategies and processes. The entire school community (parents, organizations, businesses, etc) are partners with the school in support of the approach. ARTS INTEGRATION PROCESS:1. Pick what topic/idea you want to teach.2.

At a recent professional development institute in a school district in New York State, I led content-area teachers new to teaching English language learners (ELLs) through a geometry lesson entirely in German. I first lectured to them without providing any scaffolds, and then I gradually included visuals and a bilingual glossary in my instruction. Later, I had them complete a classroom assessment in German using the supports provided, working in pairs, and speaking in English. Reflecting on his experience, one middle school teacher noted he suddenly realized why his beginning-level Nepalese student seemed so tired at the end of the day. This exercise gave teachers a small sense of how flawed content assessment can be for ELLs when students are not yet fluent in the language. Why the Urgency? Research has clearly demonstrated that assessments designed mainly for native English speakers may not be as reliable and valid for ELLs (Abedi, 2006). In fact, average scores for ELLs on the 2013 reading and math National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in grades 4, 8, and 12 were significantly lower than average scores for native speakers of English, and the gap in scores widened with increases in grade level (Office of English Language Acquisition, 2015). My work with ELLs and their educators is based in an advocacy framework in which the concept of scaffolded advocacy —or providing just the right amount of advocacy on the basis of students' strengths and needs—is crucial to support their academic achievement (Staehr Fenner, 2014)."

Dokora: Key answers to curriculum reform Opinion & Analysis Contributor December 13, 2015In this week’s instalment, I again have the privilege of providing an informative article from Professor Chrispen Chiome of the Zimbabwe Open University. The article gives an overview of Zimbabwe’s education system soon after independence, and the imperative to review the curriculum to bring relevance to our education. The Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Education and Training was a milestone towards bringing that relevance. Below is Prof Chiome in his own words * * * Zimbabwe was born out of a protracted liberation struggle. It is common cause that it was a struggle for land, but education was also at the heart of that struggle. The learning experiences, lessons and academic content taught in schools with the aim of developing skills, knowledge and correct attitudes to students is generally what is referred to as curriculum. Curriculum is one of the foundational elements of effective schooling and teaching. It is often for this reason that it is the object of reforms. Such reforms in the curriculum are basically intended to mandate and at the same time encourage greater curricular standardisation and consistency across provinces, schools, grade levels, subject areas and courses."

That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.—Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1881–1906This book explores two different but related ideas: design and understanding. In the previous chapter we explored good design in general and what the template specifically calls for. But before we can go into depth about the template, we need to step back and consider the other strand of the book—understanding. Bob James was a bit confused about “understandings.” His confusion turns out to be a fairly common problem. When we ask designers in workshops to identify desired understandings and thus to distinguish between desired “knowledge” and “understanding,” they are often puzzled. What's the difference?

Understanding Differentiated Instruction: Building a Foundation for Leadership Look inside almost any classroom today and you'll see a mirror of our country. You'll find students from multiple cultures, some of whom are trying to bridge the languages and behaviors of two worlds. Students with very advanced learning skills sit next to students who struggle mightily with one or more school subjects. Children with vast reservoirs of background experience share space with peers whose world is circumscribed by the few blocks of their neighborhood. All these students have the right to expect enthusiastic teachers who are ready to meet the students as they are, and to move them along the pathway of learning as far as fast as possible. The reality, however, is that many of these students will encounter a teacher who is enmeshed in a system geared up to treat all 1st graders as though they were essentially the same, or all Algebra I students as though they were alike. Classrooms and schools are rarely organized to respond well to variations in student readiness, interest, or learning profile (Archambault et al., 1993; Bateman, 1993; International Institute for Advocacy for School Children, 1993; Mc Intosh, Vaughn, Schumm, Haager, & Lee, 1993; Tomlinson, 1995; Tomlinson, Moon, & Callahan, 1998; Westberg, Archambault, Dobyns, & a and b; Salvin, 1993).

Marzano An evaluation system that fosters teacher learning will differ from one whose aim is to measure teacher competence. States, districts, and schools all across the United States are busy developing or implementing teacher evaluation systems. One can trace this flurry of activity to a variety of reports and initiatives that highlight two failings of past efforts: (1) Teacher evaluation systems have not accurately measured teacher quality because they've failed to do a good job of discriminating between effective and ineffective teachers, and (2) teacher evaluation systems have not aided in developing a highly skilled teacher workforce (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2011; Toch & Rothman, 2008; U. S. Department of Education, 2009; Weisberg, Sexton, Mulhern, & Keeling, 2009). Although efforts to move quickly in designing and implementing more effective teacher evaluation systems are laudable, we need to acknowledge a crucial issue—that measuring teachers and developing teachers are different purposes with different implications. An evaluation system designed primarily for measurement will look quite different from a system designed primarily for development. Which Is Best? Over the last year, I've asked more than 3,000 educators their opinions about these two basic purposes by presenting them with a scale that has five values. If educators think that measurement is the sole purpose of teacher evaluation (that is, that development should not be a purpose of teacher evaluation), they select 1."

"text": "Curriculum LAST UPDATED: 08.12.15The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program. In dictionaries, curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a general sense in schools. Depending on how broadly educators define or employ the term, curriculum typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course. When the terms curriculum or curricula are used in educational contexts without qualification, specific examples, or additional explanation, it may be difficult to determine precisely what the terms are referring to—mainly because they could be applied to either all or only some of the component parts of a school’s academic program or courses. In many cases, teachers develop their own curricula, often refining and improving them over years, although it is also common for teachers to adapt lessons and syllabi created by other teachers, use curriculum templates and guides to structure their lessons and courses, or purchase prepackaged curricula from individuals and companies. In some cases, schools purchase comprehensive, multigrade curriculum packages—often in a particular subject area, such as mathematics—that teachers are required to use or follow. Curriculum may also encompass a school’s academic requirements for graduation, such as the courses students have to take and pass, the number of credits students must complete, and other requirements, such as completing a capstone project or a certain number of community-service hours. Generally speaking, curriculum takes many different forms in schools—too many to comprehensively catalog here. It is important to note that while curriculum encompasses a wide variety of potential educational and instructional practices, educators often have a very precise, technical meaning in mind when they use the term."

It is hard to imagine a teacher or school leader who is not aware of the importance of teaching higher-order thinking skills to prepare young men and women to live in the 21st Century. However, the extent to which higher-order thinking skills are taught and assessed continues to be an area of debate, with many teachers and employers expressing concern that young people ‘cannot think’. What are we talking about when we talk about ‘higher-order thinking’? Brookhart (2010) identifies definitions of higher-order thinking as falling into three categories: (1) those that define higher-order thinking in terms of transfer, (2) those that define it in terms of critical thinking, and (3) those that define it in terms of problem solving. In the category of transfer, Anderson, Krathwohl et al (2001) define transfer in how it differs from retention: Two of the most important educational goals are to promote retention and to promote transfer (which, when it occurs, indicates meaningful learning) … retention requires that students remember what they have learned, whereas transfer requires students not only to remember but also to make sense of and be able to use what they have learned. While learning for recall requires thinking, the higher-order thinking is in ‘transfer’. That is, students not only acquire the knowledge and skills, but also can apply them to new situations. It is this kind of thinking, according to Brookhart (2010) that applies to life outside of school where thinking is characterised by ‘a series of transfer opportunities (rather) than as a series of recall assignments to be done’."

"text": "\"A continental breakfast is a light morning meal that is provided by many hotels and motels. It traditionally includes bread products, fruit juice and hot beverages. Some lodging facilities also include other types of food, such as cereal, fruit, meat and eggs. The meal typically is presented in a buffet, from which guests can help themselves, rather than being served to the guests like it would be in a restaurant. The quality and amount of food that is provided can vary widely and often depends on the quality of the establishment, with high-end hotels that attract business travelers typically providing better continental breakfast food than roadside motels that attract families who are vacationing on tight budgets. Origin of the Term The term \"\"continental breakfast\"\" refers to the continent of Europe and distinguishes this simple breakfast from an English breakfast, which typically consists of more food and often includes meats, cereals, fruits and even vegetables in addition to bread products, juice and hot beverages. Light breakfasts such as those often enjoyed by people in Europe, especially France, are considered easier, cheaper and quicker for hotels to provide to their guests. It also is convenient for travelers who might not have time for a sit-down meal in the morning before needing to continue on their journey. Ad Serving Procedure A continental breakfast usually is provided in the hotel or motel lobby, or in a room near the lobby, for a specified period of time during the morning. The food typically is placed on a large table or counter, and amenities such as plates, bowls, forks, spoons and knives are made available."

"text": "Travel France Paris How much does breakfast cost in Paris, France? Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Many hotels include a continental breakfast (croissant or bread and coffee) for free. The irony is that upscale places which charge more for rooms often do not include the breakfast because they also have restaurants and they want you to buy the food. In cafes, the same breakfast costs less if you walk up to the counter and order (vs. if you sit down and have the waiter come to you). You can also save money by buying a pastry at a bakery. You'll find that food is expensive in France compared with the US and the more restaurant meals you have, the more $ you'll spend. Bruce T · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Well...it really depends on what you eat and where you eat. Generally plain croissant cost you 1.50 Euros and and cup of coffee is about the same. Danish and other pastries is about 2 Euros. Than main courses will be around 5 Euros."

"text": "\"Canadian Foods In a multi-ethnic, restaurant-heavy country like Canada, it can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to define what exactly counts as “Canadian food.” In general, most Canadians eat a largely “western” diet broadly similar to the diet of Americans and Europeans, with a heavy focus on processed grain and dairy products, farm-grown beef and chicken, certain cooked or fresh fruits and vegetables, and questionable amounts of salt and sugar. Foodio/Shutterstock Canadian Breakfasts A Canadian homestyle breakfast is one featuring eggs, meat, and toast, and often pancakes as well. A continental breakfast, by contrast, is a much lighter meal usually consisting of toast, pastries, juice, oatmeal, and other things that don't require much cooking. A homestyle breakfast is something you'd get at a restaurant, while a continental breakfast is usually associated with hotels. The Canadian Diet Canadians usually eat three standard meals a day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — each of which is quite distinct. Breakfast is eaten first thing in the morning to provide fuel for the day ahead. Unfortunately a lot of Canadians tend to be too rushed in the morning to give the meal much effort, and as a result it tends to be the most widely skipped or half-hearted meal. Traditional breakfast foods in Canada are cooked eggs, fried pork sausages or bacon, fried or deep-fried potatoes, toasted bread, pancakes (or egg-battered French Toast) and syrup, cereals, or hot oatmeal. For those in a rush, a breakfast may only consist of one of the above; for those who take it seriously, it’s not uncommon for a “hearty” Canadian breakfast to contain almost everything mentioned."

( February 2009)This article may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. ( February 2009)A contingent fee or contingency fee (in the United States) or conditional fee (in England and Wales) is any fee for services provided where the fee is payable only if there is a favourable result. Although such a fee may be used in many fields, it is particularly well associated with legal practice. In the law, it is defined as a \"\"fee charged for a lawyer's services only if the lawsuit is successful or is favorably settled out of court.... Contingent fees are usually calculated as a percentage of the client's net recovery.\"\" [ 1]In the English legal system, it is generally referred to as a conditional fee agreement or, informally by the public and press, as no win no fee. The usual form of this agreement is that the solicitor will take a law case on the understanding that if lost, no payment is made."

"text": "\"Medium: Legal Fees on a Contingency Basis May Be 30-40%E-mail Post Tweet Comments (20)In the US, most employment is considered \"\"at will,\"\" [ 1] meaning either the employee or the employer can end the employment at any time, and without cause. Firing an employee is considered wrongful (illegal) only if violates an employee's employment contract or a union contract, or if the firing is based upon some form of specific discrimination or retaliation for the employee's legally protected actions (such as filing a worker's compensation claim after being injured on the job). In a successful case, a wrongfully terminated employee could receive back pay, reinstatement, a promotion, reasonable accommodation, front pay (when there is no reinstatement, this is the money the employee could have received if able to return to work under better conditions), compensatory damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and related costs. Typical costs: If an attorney believes you have a strong case, he or she might handle your wrongful termination lawsuit on a contingency basis. If you lose the case you won't owe any legal fees but if you win the case the attorney will take anywhere from 30-40 percent of any money received. More often, wrongful termination lawsuits are billed on a partial contingency basis, where you would agree to pay for certain costs or fees no matter what the outcome of the case. Wrongful termination applies in only a limited number of situations and many cases settle out of court. However, for those that go to trial the Council on Education in Management estimates that the average jury award for a wrongful termination lawsuit is $1 .8 million. An attorney may also handle a wrongful termination case on an hourly basis, charging $100-$500 or more an hour. These fees can quickly mount up to $15,000-$30,000 and more, and generally if you can't find an attorney to handle your wrongful termination suit on a contingency or partial contingency basis, you may not have a strong case (or there may not be enough money involved to justify the time and expenses required)."

"text": "How do Social Security Disability attorneys get paid for representing me in my disability claim and how can I afford a lawyer? By Kay Derochie / February 18, 2018 / Appealing If Your Application Is Denied / 535 Comments Learn how Social Security lawyers get paid only if your disability claim is approved and about the maximum fees your attorney can receive for winning your case. Listen to this Disability Attorneys Are Paid Only If You Win Social Security Disability attorneys who represent disability claimants get paid on a contingency basis. This means that they are paid for their services only if you are awarded benefits. For this reason when an attorney accepts your case on a contingency basis, it is an indication that he or she believes that you have a reasonable chance of being approved for disability benefits. Appointing a Payee and Setting Up Payment Method When you hire a Social Security attorney, you will sign the Social Security representation form, SSA-1696. The form consists of three parts. In the first, you appoint the attorney as your representative. Your attorney completes the second section accepting the appointment, agreeing to represent you. The third section asks the attorney by what method he or she wants to be paid—directly from your back pay and issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA), directly from you after you get your back pay, or by a third-party."

"text": "ATTORNEYS; MEDICAL MALPRACTICE;ATTORNEYS; MALPRACTICE;September 25, 20032003-R-0664MEDICAL MALPRACTICE—ATTORNEYS’ FEESBy: George Coppolo, Chief Attorney You asked whether other states limit the amount of fees attorneys may collect in medical malpractice cases. SUMMARYSixteen states, including Connecticut, have a statute or court rule that establishes a specific limit or sliding scale on contingency fees attorneys may charge clients who file a medical malpractice claim. ( California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming). Many of these statutes and rules, including Connecticut’s, apply to a much broader category of cases than just medical malpractice. We did not find any state that sets a numerical or percentage limit on the fees that health care providers or their insurers may pay for legal representation. But we did find several states that allow or require the court to determine the reasonableness of the attorney’ fees doctors, or their insurers, and plaintiffs pay. Most, like Connecticut’s, establish a sliding scale that places an upper limit based on the amount of the settlement or judgment. Connecticut allows 33 and 1/3% of the first $ 300,000, 25% of the next $ 300,000, 20% of the next $ 300,000, 15% of the next $ 300,000 and 10% of amounts exceeding $ 1,250,000. ( This sliding scale applies to any lawsuit to recover damages resulting from personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage involving contingency fees, not just to medical malpractice cases. ) A few states such as Tennessee and Utah set the limit at one third regardless of the recovery."

"text": "\"What happens at closing? If a purchase, at the closing ownership of the newly purchased farm is officially transferred from the seller to you. It may involve you, the seller, the real estate agent, your attorney, the lender's attorney, representatives from the title or escrow firm, and a variety of clerks, secretaries, and other staff. It is possible to have an attorney act on your behalf if you cannot attend the meeting (for example, if the farm is in another state). Closing can take as little time as an hour to sign all the forms and transfer ownership or it can take several hours, depending on the contingency clauses in the purchase offer (and any escrow accounts that may need to be set up). Much of the paperwork involved in closing (or settlement) is done by attorneys and real estate professionals. You may be involved in some of the closing activities and not in others, depending on local customs and on the professionals with whom you are working. Before you close on the farm property, you should have a final inspection, or walk-through, to make sure any repairs you requested have been made and that items which were to remain with the home/farm (drapes, light fixtures) are still there. In most states, settlement is done by a title or escrow firm to which you forward all the materials and information along with the appropriate cashiers' checks, and the firm will make the necessary disbursements. The real estate agent or another representative of the title company will deliver the check to the seller and the house keys to you if applicable."

Fortunately, there are many different places you can turn to for free or low-cost legal services, including free legal services provided by the government, law firms, and even law schools. Below is a summary of the types of free legal services that may be available in your state. Public Defenders If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you may be dreading heading to court, especially if you do not have the resources to afford a lawyer. You may be entitled to obtain legal services without charge, however. Under the United States Constitution, you have the right to free legal services for your criminal trial if you cannot afford an attorney of your own. Often, these attorneys are appointed by a judge from a public defender's office when you are formally charged with criminal counts. This attorney will be assigned to your case for the duration of your criminal trial, as well as your first appeal if you lose the intial criminal case. To find out more, you can contact your local public defender's office. Legal Aid Clinics If you think that you need to file a lawsuit to protect your interests, but are unable to afford a private lawyer, you may be able to qualify for legal aid, often called legal services."

The factors to be considered in determining whether a fee is clearly excessive include the following: (1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly; (2) the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by thelawyer; (3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount involved and the results obtained; (5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances; (6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; (7) the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and (8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent. ( b) When the lawyer has not regularly represented the client, the scope of the representation and the basis or rate of the fee and expenses for which the client will be responsible shall be communicated to the client, preferably in writing, before or within a reasonable time after commencing the representation. ( c) A fee may be contingent on the outcome of the matter for which the service is rendered, except in a matter in which a contingent fee is prohibited by paragraph (d) or other law. A contingent fee agreement shall be in a writing signed by the client and shall state the method by which the fee is to be determined, including the percentage or percentages that shall accrue to the law yer in the event of settlement, trial or appeal; litigation and other expenses to be deducted from the recovery; and whether such expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated. The agreement must clearly notify the client of any expenses for which the client will be liable whether or not the client is the prevailing party. Upon conclusion of a contingent fee matter, the law yer shall provide the client with a written statement stating the outcome of the matter and, if there is a recovery, showing the remittance to the client and the method of its determination. ( d) A lawyer shall not enter into an arrangement for, charge, or collect: (1) a contingent fee for representing a defendant in a criminal case; however, a law yer may charge and collect a contingent fee for representation in a criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceeding if not otherwise prohibited bylaw; or (2) a contingent fee in a civil case in which such a fee is prohibited by law. ( e) A division of a fee between lawyers who are not in the same firmmay be made only if: (1) the division is in proportion to the services performed by each lawyer or eachlawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation; (2) the client agrees to the arrangement, including the share each lawyer will receive, and the agreement is confirmed in writing; and (3) the total fee is reasonable. ( f) Any lawyer having a dispute with a client regarding a fee for legal services must: (1) make reasonable efforts to advise his or her client of the existence of the North Carolina State Bar's program of fee dispute resolution at least 30 days prior to initiating legal proceedings to collect the disputed fee; and (2) participate in good faith in the fee dispute resolution process if the client submits a proper request."

"text": "\"Personal Injury Claims Lawyer How Much for Auto Accident Attorney? If you are considering hiring a personal injury claims lawyer, then you must be wondering about how much it will cost you. Although each individual accident attorney may charge you slightly different amount, most injury lawyers charge in a similar way. Let's look at all the costs that are involved with working with a injury claims lawyer: Contingency Fee Most accident injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will only pay the personal injury claims lawyer if you get money from your insurance settlement. The benefit of this form of payment is that it depends on the performance of your injury attorney. If your lawyer is not able to get a settlement, that means you don't owe them any contingent fees. You pay ONLY if the lawyer gets you a settlement. Typically, the contingency fee is a percentage of your final insurance settlement (normally one-third). This benefits you because you avoid the risk of paying a lot of money upfront without getting any compensation from the insurance companies."

"text": "Wages and Hourly Wages Attorneys What are average lawyer fees per hour in the UK?4 Answers Philip Ewan, BA, LLB Politics & Law, University of Nottingham (1978)Answered Jun 27, 2017 · Author has 84 answers and 20.4k answer views Generally the rate allowed by the local courts when assessing disputed bills, currently 220 pounds an hour for an experienced solicitor in most places in England and Wales. These rates can be a good deal higher in major city centres. Barristers generally charge by the day for advocacy, depending on seniority and reputation, but may charge lower hourly rates than solicitors for deskwork, as their overheads are lower. 100 pounds is no longer an hourly rate for a qualified lawyer, except perhaps for travelling and waiting. Contingency (so called no win no fee arrangements) are more complicated, and some firms may charge fixed fees for the more routine matters, or on a different basis for property transfers. Publicly funded legal aid, where rates have been almost static for 25 years, is a separate matter, as rates are fixed by law and increasingly based on fixed fees. Where hourly rates are still paid, these are around 50 to 75 pound basic, with uplifts for technically difficult work that might occasionally yield 100 an hour. I cannot speak for Scotland and Northern Ireland but would expect the picture to be broadly similar.2.5k Viewspromoted by Truthfinder Truthfinder is the country's leading source for arrest records.

Working in the industry since 2005Answered Jun 9, 2014 · Author has 1.5k answers and 1m answer views First, Cost of Goods Sold is conceptually linked with inventory. If the company does not maintain an inventory (not just of supplies), then the answer is no, labor should not be included in Cost of Good Sold. If the company does maintain such an inventory, then it depends, so keep reading. Contract labor should be allocated to Cost of Goods Sold only if that same labor would be if it was performed by an employee, i.e. if it was the direct effort to change the state of materials into finished goods: Examples of direct labor (included)- hammering together framing, installing plumbing, applying drywall. Examples of indirect labor (excluded)- managing other workers, administrative tasks like collecting and approving time sheets, applying for permits. For companies in this situation, many employees with managerial responsibilities have to allocate their time, part as direct work, part as indirect work."

The Future of Merit: Twenty Years after the Civil Service Reform Act (Woodrow Wilson Center Press and Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000). Government Legitimacy and the Role of the Civil Service James P. Pfiffner George Mason University As the scope and roles of the U. S. government changed in the 20 th century, so did the role and legitimacy of the public service. This essay examines the changing relationship between government and the public service from the Progressive Era to the end of the century with an emphasis on the decline of the legitimacy of the state in recent decades. It then looks at the effects of that change in legitimacy on the role of the public service, specifically contracting out, privitization, and the fragmenting of the civil service. Finally, it takes up the implications of the disintegration of the national civil service system for the future of merit, the public service ethic, and accountability in the opening years of the 21 st century. I. Governmental Legitimacy and the Role of the Civil Service The civil service has always been caught between U. S. citizens’ skeptical attitudes toward government and the role of the national government. In the early 20 th century, the civil service was just emerging from the era of the spoils system. From the presidency of Andrew Jackson until the Pendleton Act of 1883 the staffing of the federal government was largely conducted by presidential administrations on the basis of political loyalty. Based on the premises that government work was basically simple, the political parties needed government jobs as incentives for their membership, and that politically loyal implementors were needed for faithful execution of the laws; the spoils system flourished."

"text": "February 28, 2014The 2014-15 Budget: Administration’s Response to Prison Overcrowding Order Report in PDFIn This Report Background Administration’s Plan to Meet Prison Population Cap LAO Assessment of Administration’s Plan LAO Recommendations Summary In August 2009, a federal three–judge panel ordered the state to reduce its inmate population to no more than 137.5 percent of the design capacity in the prisons operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The state was initially given until June 2013 to reach the population cap. Following a series of appeals of the order by the administration, the deadline for reducing the inmate population was ultimately extended to February 26, 2016. The administration’s plan to comply with the court order consists of three primary strategies: (1) contracting for bed space, (2) utilizing funding from the Recidivism Reduction Fund to support initiatives intended to reduce the prison population (such as expanding rehabilitative services), and (3) implementing court–ordered population reduction measures. Our analysis indicates that the administration’s plan is likely to achieve compliance with the court–ordered population cap in the short run. However, we find that the plan is very costly and may not be able to maintain compliance with the cap in the long run. We also find that the Governor’s proposed expenditures from the Recidivism Reduction Fund raise multiple issues, such as whether the proposals are the most cost–effective way to reduce the state’s prison population. As such, we recommend a variety of modifications to the Governor’s recidivism reduction proposals. In particular, we recommend using a portion of the monies in the Recidivism Reduction Fund to evaluate CDCR’s current rehabilitative programs and to expand an existing grant program that incentivizes counties to reduce prison admissions. In addition, we recommend that the Legislature focus on adopting policies that would (1) ensure that the state will not exceed the court–ordered population cap in the future and (2) reduce the number of contract beds necessary to maintain compliance with the cap."

"text": "\"The Office of General Counsel issued the following informal opinion on August 9, 2000, representing the position of the New York State Insurance Department. RE: Warranties and Service Contracts Questions Presented: Does New York law make a distinction between insurance and warranties? Does New York law make a distinction between warranties and service contracts? If warranties are considered insurance, does New York law make an exemption for warranty programs underwritten by an insurer licensed to do business in your state? Does New York law make a distinction between coverage that is imbedded into the cost of the product (comes with the product for no additional charge) and coverage that is sold separately (itemized bill with a separate charge for the coverage)? If claims under a warranty are submitted to a third party administrator (\"\"TPA\"\") for review and payment, what requirements are applicable to the TPA? Does New York law make a distinction between warranties that are sold by the manufacturer, seller and a third party corporation? Conclusions: Yes, the making of warranties sometimes may constitute the doing of an insurance business. N. Y. Ins. Law §1101 (b) (1) (B) (Mc Kinney 1985) provides that the making, or proposing to make, as warrantor, guarantor or surety, any contract of warranty, guaranty or suretyship as a vocation and not as merely incidental to any other legitimate business or activity of the warrantor, guarantor or surety, constitutes doing an insurance business."

"text": "\"Mexican Legal System Overview Introduction Contrary to the beliefs widely held in the U. S. regarding the nature and function of Mexico's legal system, Mexico does, in fact, enjoy a highly evolved and organized legal system which with few exceptions is functional. The origins of Mexico's legal system are both ancient and classical, based on the Greek, Roman and French legal systems, and the Mexican system shares more in common with other legal systems throughout the world (especially those in Latin America and most of continental Europe) than does the U. S. legal system. U. S. business people and foreign owned corporations doing business in Mexico must directly and indirectly deal with the Mexican legal system, even if they do not have an actual business presence in Mexico. They might encounter Mexico's system through and international contract which they enter into with a Mexican company or individual, even if the contract is wholly performable in the U. S. Many such contracts are negotiated covering the distribution of products, the granting of franchises, or the transfer of technology, among other legal relationships. Accordingly, such business people should have at least a general working knowledge of the system. U. S. legal counsel with clients doing business in Mexico should have a more detailed knowledge of Mexican practices, laws and courts. All should understand that if they are to accomplish their objectives they must work within the system, not against it. This article is intended to be only a general discussion of Mexico's legal system. A comprehensive treatise of the topic would fill volumes. MEXICO'S CIVIL LAW SYSTEM COMPARED TO THE U. S. COMMON LAW SYSTEMTo better understand the Mexican legal system, it is useful to compare it to the U. S. legal system."

So if you get a case involving an oral contract, you look up the technicalities. There is no point in memorizing the technicalities now. You will just forget them. We will just try to get some sense of the kinds of problems that arise under the statute. Categories covered by the statute You should learn what kinds of contracts are governed by the statute. There are five categories: (1) Contracts involving the sale of an interest in land; (2) contracts the performance of which extends beyond one year; (3) contracts in which someone assumes responsibility for someone else's debt; that is, promises to be a surety; (4) promises the consideration for which is getting married; (5) contracts for the sale of goods worth more than $500. ( 6) Certain promises by executors and adminstrators Various states have added other categories; often contracts to make a will are included, as are contracts to pay a real estate agent's commission. Practical advice Always put contracts in writing. That way you do not have to worry about the statute of frauds, and you do not have problems proving what you agreed to; the written contract is your evidence."

"text": "Executive Summary On May 23, 2011, the U. S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in a lawsuit against the state involving prison overcrowding. Specifically, the court upheld the ruling of a federal three–judge panel requiring the state to reduce overcrowding in its prisons to 137.5 percent of its “design capacity” within two years. Currently, the state prison system is operating at roughly 180 percent of design capacity—or about 34,000 inmates more than the limit established by the three–judge panel. The ruling, however, did not specify the particular measures that the state must implement to comply. On June 7 and July 21, the administration submitted reports to the three–judge panel describing specific measures that were recently taken, as well as those in the process of being implemented, to reduce overcrowding in California prisons. As we discuss in this brief, the administration’s reports to the court do not preclude the Legislature from assessing the measures identified by the administration and considering its own strategy for compliance with the court ruling based on its priorities. The Legislature has already taken an important first step in complying with the court’s ruling by recently approving a package of legislation to shift the responsibility for certain low–level offenders from the state to counties. Although this realignment of services would significantly reduce prison overcrowding upon full implementation, and go a long way to complying with the court mandates, it may fall several thousand inmates short of meeting the requirements within the deadlines. Based on the information and data available to us at the time of this analysis regarding how realignment will reduce the prison population, we recommend that the Legislature: Encourage the administration to request additional time from the court to comply with its mandate to reduce overcrowding in California’s prisons. Direct the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) by statute to report on the justification of each prison construction project that it now proposes (including projects that have already been approved) in light of the inmate population reductions that will occur because of the three–judge panel ruling and the enactment of the realignment plan."

Okay, you've signed a contract, you have your loan, you've been approved by the Board (if it's a co-op)--what happens if the seller refuses to close? What about if you're the seller and the buyer wants to unreasonably delay the closing or simply refuses to close? Most people (irrespective of business sophistication) are shocked at what happens when a dispute arises in a co-op or condo transaction. Most sellers operate under the misconception that if the buyer defaults, the seller automatically gets to keep the contract deposit. That's simply not the case. Here's the skinny on how typical defaults usually play out. When Does a Dispute Arise? Disputes between the parties arise at three key times during a residential transaction:when a buyer is turned down by a co-op board;when a buyer is turned down for a loan commitment; orwhen either party refuses to close. There are many other reasons why a transaction breaks down, but we'll just deal with several of the biggies for the purposes of this conversation."

"text": "\"After working in commercial real estate banking for nearly a decade (while running a part-time real estate investing business on the side), I've closed hundreds of real estate transactions over the course of my career. Whenever the word “financing” comes into play, there always seems to be an endless pile of paperwork and legal hoops to jump through. Everyone wants to protect themselves from liability, etc. – and while much of this documentation is good practice, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making the process seem way more confusing than it needs to be. After facilitating many of these closings myself, I started to realize something… when you peel back all the complex legal jargon and binders of paperwork, the standard closing process for a seller financed deal almost always follows the same basic steps, and when you understand what those steps are and why they're important, everything starts to make a lot more sense. Especially when a transaction involves a simpler type of property (like vacant land, for instance), with a creditworthy buyer who agrees to some basic terms – there are many cases where it's completely feasible for the seller to handle the entire closing process on their own. This is how I've handled the vast majority of properties I've sold with seller financing, and when I got the hang of how all the pieces fit together (i.e. – I understood the laws, statutes, and documentation in the state where my properties were located), I was pleasantly surprised at how much I could do on my own. Closing your own deals in-house can have SEVERAL advantages. For example: You can eliminate some of the excessive, unnecessary paperwork. You can move through the process much faster than most third-party closing agents."

"text": "Contracts MINERAL RIGHTS AND REAL ESTATE PURCHASES: A BREEDING GROUND FOR CONTRACT DISPUTESAugust 5, 2014 Jeff Rattikin No issue has given rise to as many contract disputes in North Texas in recent years as the effect of Barnett Shale development on real estate transactions. For decades, real estate practitioners in North Texas rarely considered mineral rights when negotiating and drafting contracts for sale. However, the rapid rise in the value of mineral rights resulting from the financial success of Barnett Shale drilling, coupled with the increased awareness of the public with respect to minerals, has led to a sometimes heated negotiation over post-closing mineral rights. Many times these disputes lead to a complete breakdown in the deal, resulting in ill-feelings among the parties and loss of anticipated income by brokers, agents, mortgage companies and other participants in the transaction. Unfortunately, most of these disputes can be traced back to misinformation and misunderstanding of the law concerning mineral rights, further compounded by rather loose and careless drafting at the contract stage. To fully understand the effects of mineral rights on a real estate transaction, real estate practitioners and investors must have a sound understanding of real estate, oil and gas, contract and title law. In this article I shall summarize ten basic mineral issues that often arise in real estate transactions.1. Are minerals included in the contract? Although a complete definition of the term “minerals” is beyond the scope of this article, suffice it to say that in today’s local environment, most transactions focus on the rights to oil and gas, which are both considered minerals under Texas law. Moreover, all minerals are considered part of the real estate in Texas; as a result, a contract of sale for real estate would typically include the rights to the surface of the land as well as the minerals underneath."

Whether they’re writing contracts, drafting wills, defending criminals, or advising businesses, attorneys’ fees usually begin with a down payment, called a retainer, and continue at an hourly rate. Compensation for personal injury attorneys is different. They don’t require down payments or charge by the hour. They even pay money out of their own pockets to finance their clients’ cases. Personal injury attorneys take calculated bets. They accept cases hoping they will pay off sometime in the future. Often they do, but not always.

Asked by Marianne, Los Angeles, CA • Wed May 11, 2011I've asked my Seller for an Extension of two weeks to await the funding for my Secondary Loan. My Primary Loan has been Approved, and the Secondary Loan (a govt loan program) is just rubber stamping -- but the office is backed up with piles of applications and is running weeks behind. The Seller -- who is also the Agent -- wants me to pay a $5K (!!) extortion fee to agree to the Extension. Not only do I not have a spare $5K, but I refuse on principle. This is a flip for him, and he's already making $50K in less than 90 days. Alas, all my Contingency periods have expired.

This information is not legal advice. Every situation is unique. Do not make any decision without first discussing your situation with an attorney.---- Does an employer need a reason to fire me?---- Does an employer need a reason to demote me?---- Is an employer required to warn me before firing me?---- Can an employer fire me for something I did not do? Answer: If you are an at-will employee, you can be fired or demoted on a whim, without warning, for no reason at all, or even for a false reason. Of all the legal concepts that impact the lives of average people, the concept of at-will employment is without a doubt the most misunderstood. A contract is formed when there has been an offer by one party, and an acceptance of the terms of that offer by another party. When you are employed by someone else, you are subject to an employment contract. This is the first concept most people don’t understand. If you ask someone if they have an employment contract, they will invariably say no."

Overview: Let’s say you own a web shop and a client has hired you for a project. Now you want to hire a designer and a programmer to work for you as subcontractors. What does the subcontractor agreement need to say to protect you? During this article, we’ll call the web shop owner the “contractor” or just “you.” The “client” is the person that hired you for the project, and the designer and programmer are “subcontractors. ”Designer: Typically, a designer will be given pre-existing design files from a client from past projects, such as stock photos and color palettes. On most projects, it’s for an upcoming marketing/advertising campaign or unreleased product for the client. There could be concerns with the client giving stock photos they didn’t buy. Programmer: They have access to client servers, and they’re writing software to complete business or marketing tasks for the client."

Your best outcome would be a smooth sailing transaction, with your attorney doing only what is required of him, which is: FOR BUYERS: Further help you understand and clarify your purchase contract, to make sure your interests are protected Help you understand how you will take title Be sure the title is clear Work with your lender to ensure a timely loan Closely review the adjustments, including taxes owing, prior to the actual closing Prepare any legal documents Attend the closing and review and help you clearly understand all the documents you will be required to sign. Ensure title insurance is in order FOR SELLERS: Review the contract and its terms and make any necessary modifications to protect your interests Prepare all of the closing paperwork, including deed and power of attorney If a title agent, order title and ensure it is clear Deal with title issues if they occur Attend the closing on your behalf if you choose to pre-sign, or review all the papers with you at closing that you will be required to sign. Arrange for insurance certificates if required Manage and disburse earnest money if escrowed with the attorney instead of listing office However, things can and do go wrong in real estate transactions, some of them fairly compliclated, and what a peace of mind to know that you have an attorney who understands real estate law on your side should this occur.

"text": "Breach and Enforcement of Separation Agreements in North Carolina What is a separation agreement? A separation agreement is a contract between a husband and wife that states the terms under which they will live apart. In North Carolina, if the agreement deals with property issues the full legal name of such a document is a “Separation Agreement and Property Settlement.” You can see a sample here. The agreement can govern issues such as spousal and child support, child custody, and the division of the couple’s property. A separation agreement can resolve all of the legal issues that would otherwise be decided by a judge. The only thing a separation agreement can’t do is grant the actual divorce. In most other states, a judge must at least approve a separation agreement at the time the divorce is granted. Not so in North Carolina. With the exceptions noted below in the discussion of defenses, the parties are free to arrange things as they see fit."

They can be: -express or implied; -unilateral or bilateral; -executory or executed; and -valid, void, voidable, or unenforceable. Express contract -In an express contract, the parties state the terms and show their intentions in words. It may be oral or written. For ex: a listing agreement is an express contract between seller and broker that names the broker as fiduciary representative (agent) of a seller. -the statute of frauds requires that any contract for the purchase and sale of a parcel of real property, in whole or in part, must always be in writing to be enforceable. As a result, the majority of real estate contracts fall into the category of express contracts. Implied contracts - the agreement of the parties is demonstrated by their acts and conduct. For ex: the patron who orders a meal in a restaurant has implied a promise to pay for the food. Similarly, the act of entering a metered taxi cab implies that the rider will pay the driver the amount indicated on the taxi's meter upon reaching his or her destination."

This segment will explore corns, why corns develop and what to do about them. Connie had pain on the bottom of the foot for several months and it was becoming more and more disturbing. The lump in her skin on the sole of the foot had become more like a little horn. Now it felt like she was walking on a little rock, especially when she was barefoot. The pain radiated up into her toe. She had picked the horn off before, which made it feel better, but it seemed to grow back within a few days. Corns are special calluses that develop on the feet."

"text": "When it comes to Paleo, one of the few food groups that almost everyone agrees on is grains. Grains are not only nutritionally unnecessary, but even downright harmful, packed with toxic antinutrients and inflammatory proteins like gluten. For many people, they’re also problematic for their high carbohydrate content, but even advocates of safe starches generally recommend eating starchy tubers like sweet potatoes or tapioca, rather than grains. Unfortunately, modern food culture makes avoiding grains uniquely difficult (try finding anything to eat in an airport that isn’t a sandwich or a $10 bowl of wilted lettuce leaves smothered in Ranch dressing). It’s a struggle not to feel deprived or absurd in the face of friends, coworkers, and your well-meaning Aunt Sophie whose biscuits you just have to try. Enter the replacements: coconut flour, almond meal, cauliflower “rice” and “mashed potatoes” and even “pizza crust.” Creating Paleo-friendly imitations of forbidden foods has become an art form, and as well as working culinary magic on the humble cauliflower, enterprising Paleo cooks have sought out a whole range of non-gluten grains and pseudograins as alternatives to the harmful starches that accompany modern American meals. These replacements are purely cultural: they aren’t necessary for health. None of them can match the nutrient content of meat and vegetables, or even other types of starch like sweet potatoes. They contain a lot of glucose, which can be problematic for people who already have insulin metabolism problems."

Most brands of commercial pellets are locally available and you could feed your rabbits just a good quality pellet for life and your rabbits would have happy healthy life. But knowing what a good pellet is can be more troublesome. Every rabbit breeder has a different opinion! On how much protein, or fiber, or whether corn can be used as an ingredient, or not, or will a GMO infested soy product affect your rabbits. But remember there are benefits to feeding your rabbits pellets!The consistent ingredients and known nutrient balance and the inclusion of salt, so no salt/mineral lick is needed. Most rabbit pellets also contain Copper Sulphate which will help fight off intestinal parasites that can make your rabbit sick. So make sure to check your feed labels and be informed!It is hard to beat a quality pellet for rabbits for the best performance (high production) in your herd. Pellets are designed to grow a healthy rabbit in the most economical way. Even using lower priced pellets may not save in the long run as they are most likely made up with lower quality ingredients."

He was a gay and impudent and satirical and delightful young black man--a slave--who daily preached sermons from the top of his master's woodpile, with me for sole audience. He imitated the pulpit style of the several clergymen of the village and did it well, and with fine passion and energy. To me, he was a wonder.

The corn snake is a “red rat snake” from the genus Elaphe guttata guttata. It has recently been regrouped into the classification Pantheropis instead of Elaphe, but in many places is still listed as Elaphe. It is an easily tamed snake that can be kept alone or in groups, available in a variety of colours and patterns, that grows from 3 to 6 feet in length, but remains a slender and light weighted. The wide variety of colours available along with it’s ease of care and friendly personality make it a very popular pet – one of the most popular exotic pets in captivity. Corn snakes are bred in captivity in huge numbers across the world, and few are now taken from the wild, where they originate in the U. S. A. The corn snake has a lifespan that is usually described as 15-20 years, however the oldest corn snake recorded in captivity was over 32 years old. Of course we have no idea how long they live in the wild as no extensive studies have been done into recording this data, but it is fairly safe to say your corn snake should be around for quite a while!This is my guide to corn snakes. Every breeder and keeper is entitled to their opinion, you may find conflicting information from care sheet to care sheet – it is a guide, not a set of rules. Housing When it comes to housing you have several options. Many keepers like to keep their baby corn snakes in a smaller enclosure than adults."

Conclusion: To minimize gout attacks, avoid HFCS like the plague!Why Exactly Is HFCS Bad for Gout? When high fructose corn syrup is broken down in the liver, it creates uric acid, which is bad for gout and foods containing HFCS should not be any part of a gout diet. But did you know about its relationship to other health problems? Heart Disease — HFCS Is converted to fat stored in the abdomen region, which leads to heart disease. Insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes – can be related to fructose consumption. Obesity — HFCS doesn’t trigger the body’s hormonal signals that make you feel full and tell your brain that it’s time to stop eating. This leads to overeating and weight gain.

"text": "Dog Food Digestion & Healthy Eating Guide To learn about dog food digestion, we first have to look at the Timber Wolf, also known as the Gray Wolf. Dogs share 99 percent of their DNA with the Timber Wolf and, as such, their digestive system is nearly identical. Many people believe that dogs are omnivores since they eat both plant- and meat-based foods. However, dogs are actually classified as carnivores. Dogs Are Carnivores Carnivores are also known as meat-eaters. This term describes animals who have a diet consisting mainly of meat, whether through predation or scavenging, which includes dogs. While your dog may enjoy eating fruits, vegetables, and other non-meat-based foods, their anatomical makeup shows that they evolved as a carnivore. To help explain your dog’s food digestion process, here are some of the carnivore features you will find in any household dog: Digestive Tract: With short and acidic digestive tracts, dogs are able to digest animal fat very quickly. Plant matter takes longer to break down which is why herbivores (animals that eat plant matter such as cows) have long digestive tracts. Dogs also secrete large amounts of hydrochloric acid, further assisting in the breakdown of meats as well as helping to kill bacteria found in raw meat."

The farmland rolls on, and the source of the smell remains a mystery until an enormous, steam-belching, gleaming-white architecture of tanks and pipes rises suddenly from the cornfields between Route 75 and the flood plain of the Missouri River. Behold Nature Works: the largest lactic-acid plant in the world. Into one end of the complex goes corn; out the other come white pellets, an industrial resin poised to become—if you can believe all the hype—the future of plastic in a post-petroleum world. The resin, known as polylactic acid (PLA), will be formed into containers and packaging for food and consumer goods. The trendy plastic has several things going for it. It’s made from a renewable resource, which means it has a big leg up—both politically and environmentally—on conventional plastic packaging, which uses an estimated 200,000 barrels of oil a day in the United States. Also, PLA is in principle compostable, meaning that it will break down under certain conditions into harmless natural compounds. That could take pressure off the nation’s mounting landfills, since plastics already take up 25 percent of dumps by volume. And corn-based plastics are starting to look cheap, now that oil prices are so high."

"text": "\"G is for GMOs — What are GMOs & Why Do Farmers Plant GMO Crops? By Janice Person on April 8, 2013 in ag awareness, Food & Farm I wasn’t sure I would want to tackle GMOs with a post, but another blogger who’s doing the A to Z Challenge ( Sydney Katt of author Sydney Katt.com) said she didn’t know much about agriculture and would appreciate knowing more. The comment reads: I would actually love to learn more about what people who know something about agriculture think about GMOs So I’ll provide my thoughts on GMOs (and a reminder that I write content for this blog on my personal time & it has no connection to my job). What are GMOs? There are a lot of sites that will give you a lot of different definitions. But I think I’ll go with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service definition: The term “genetically modified organism” (GMO) was originally used by the molecular biology scientific community to denote a living organism that had been genetically modified by inserting a gene from an unrelated species. Incorporation of genes from an unrelated species does not occur in nature through sexual reproduction and thus, various types of sophisticated technologies are used to accomplish this. These types of plants are generally called “transgenics”. Transgenic technology has been used in over 40 species of plants including corn, cotton, tomatoes, potatoes, soybeans, tobacco, rice, cranberries, papayas, raspberries, chrysanthemums, gladioli, petunias, poplars, spruce, and walnuts. In crop plants, the technology has generally been used to incorporate insect resistance or herbicide tolerance."

"text": "\"Cortisone Shot in Knee Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis that affects the knees. Treatment for this condition usually involves getting a cortisone shot in knee. Injecting cortisone into a specific part of your body helps relieve pain and inflammation. Cortisone shots are usually injected into joints such as the ankle, hip, elbow, shoulder, spine and wrist to relieve pain. What are Cortisone Shots? Cortisone is a man-made steroid that mimics the effects of cortisol, but lasts longer. Cortisol is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that is released by the adrenal gland whenever you are stressed. When you are injected with cortisone, it relieves inflammation. It is normally administered together with local anesthetic to provide instant pain relief. Steroid injections are normally given for knee pain when all other options (such as physical therapy and medication) have failed."

"text": "Types of Injections for Knee Painby JAIME HERNDON Sept. 17, 2011Knee pain can occur from an injury or a condition like osteoarthritis, and can impact activities of everyday life. There are many remedies for this condition, including rest, anti-inflammatory medications and using knee braces. For individuals whose knee pain progresses or does not respond to other types of treatment, injections may be an option to help relieve pain and discomfort. Cortisone Cortisone, or corticosteroid shots, are administered into the knee joint to reduce inflammation, says Knee Pain Info, an information website posted by doctors an physical therapists. These injections are typically given to individuals with severe knee pain that is accompanied by significant swelling of the knee. Relief from the injection can last for days to months, with reduced effectiveness with each successive shot. The risks of cortisone shots that Knee Pain Info lists include increased articular cartilage breakdown and a small possibility of infection or allergic reaction to the shot. Some individuals experience a flare-up of swelling in the first few days after an injection; this can be controlled by anti-inflammatory medication. Synvisc Injections Synvisc, the brand name for the drug Hylan G-F 20, is a derivative of hyaluronan, a viscous fluid, says Rx List.com. The fluid is similar to synovial fluid, which is naturally found in the knee joint and acts as a shock absorber."

"text": "\"I have been told I have calcium deposits in my shoulder… what is that? Last Updated September 8, 2017 by Howard J. Luks, MDCalcific tendonitis is one of the most painful shoulder conditions. The pain from calcific tendonitis can make it difficult to sleep, and difficult to use your shoulder for normal daily activities. There are effective non-surgical treatments to address your shoulder pain due to calcific tendonitis. Most patients with calcific tendonitis can avoid shoulder surgery. No one knows what causes the calcium to deposit inside your rotator cuff. If you have very severe shoulder pain and you were told that you have calcium on your shoulder X-ray then you are likely suffering from calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff. What is Calcific tendonitis ? Note the comma shaped calcium deposit above the humerus Most patients found to have calcific tendonitis have a very similar story. They did not injure themselves."

It may imply imminent peril, or life-threatening situations. Panther To dream of a panther denotes hidden perils such as malignant foes. It may likewise symbolize elements of darkness and death in your life. On the other side, panthers may also represent authority, loveliness, gracefulness, and rebirth. Cat To dream about a cat represents adversity, deceit, and poor fortune. If you enjoy cats, this dream suggests that within you is a free spirit, feminine sensuality, imagination, and capacity. If the cat is belligerent, you may be having trouble with the feminine part of you. If the cat has no tail, you no longer have sovereignty and self-governance."

The big black cats are black leopards or black jaguars and are not referred to as black panthers by anyone who knows anything about big cats. Some people claim to have seen black cougars, which are sometimes referred to as Florida Panthers (despite the fact that they are not in the Panthera category) and thus extrapolate the term black panther, but Florida Panthers are always tan. Black panther may refer to: Animals Black panther, a big cat (of any species, but most commonly a jaguar or a leopard) whose coloration is entirely black. This may have originated from the Latin name Panthera for the big cats and was probably shortened from Black Panthera to Black Panther. Political movements Black Panther, a member of the Black Panther Party, a revolutionary Black nationalist organization in the United States formed during the 1960s.

"text": "The cougar goes by many names: mountain lion, puma, deer tiger, red tiger, panther and, its taxonomic name, Puma concolor. The largest of the small cat species, these agile animals can jump up to 20 feet from the ground into a tree. Agility isn’t the cougar’s only defining characteristic -- these perceptive cats are skilled hunters and masters of communication. Physical Appearance Cougars are large, rivaling the jaguar in size, and are typically tawny cats with buff-colored throats, chests and bellies. Cougars living in warm, humid areas appear darker reddish-brown while those in colder climates are lighter and almost silver-gray in color. Size variation is common between sexes; males are much larger than females. An adult cougar can weigh between 75 and 250 pounds and measure between 3.5 and 6.5 feet long, depending on sex and geographic location. Cougars tend to grow larger the further they live from the equator. Habitat Cougars have an extensive geographic range in North America. They inhabit Alaska and northern Canada, through the United States and Chile and Argentina."

In Asia and Africa it's the leopard, in North America it's puma, and in South America it's known as the jaguar. Wherever this feline is found, it's revered for its strength, valour and power. Also for its maternal gentleness. As a tattoo motif, the panther makes a powerful statement about the person who chooses it, for it is a symbol of courage, strength and personal leadership. The Panther figures prominently in the mythology of most cultures in South and Central America. It occurs in the art and religion of all pre-Colombian American civilizations and was considered a familiar and a companion of Shamans among the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs . It is an extraordinarily ancient and powerful totem animal and was a symbol of the nobility and the authority of royal families. The fur, claws and teeth of the jaguar were often used to adorn and decorate the costumes and finery of the highest ranking individuals. This is the largest and most ferocious cat of the Americas, pound for pound more fierce and dangerous than: the tiger, the lion or the leopard."

"text": "Who Are Florida Panthers? Who What Who Who The Florida panther is often confused with a mountain lion, puma, or cougar. It is believed that these animals were once the same species, but have evolved through time. Historically, the concolor species roamed all over the United States, but as settlers moved west, the shy concolor was pushed out of its natural habitat. Today, there are several subspecies of the Puma concolor in different parts of the country. Along with the puma, mountain lion, and cougar, the Florida panther shares many traits with the catamount and painter. The panther was nominated as Florida’s state mammal in 1982, after the students of Florida suggested it was the perfect symbol for the sunshine state. Today, the panther is one of Florida’s major concerns for rehabilitation. Only the combination of individual and government help will revive this mammal from the brink of extinction.

Their exceptionally powerful legs enable them to leap 30 feet from a standstill, or to jump 15 feet straight up a cliff wall. Cougars use their paws and claws to trip prey (i.e. a swat to the rear legs) or grab it with their claws, then use their claws to hold their prey while delivering the kill-bite. A cougar’s strength and powerful jaws allow it to take down and drag prey larger than itself (Fig. 2)."

In North America, the Mountain Lion ranges east and west from the rockies to the Pacific coast and north and south from Canada through Mexico. They also cover Central and South America. The grace and power of the cougar continues to be a standard symbol of strength and stealth. Although it is considered part of the small cat family, the mountain lion is the fourth largest wild cat in the world after the tiger, lion and jaguar. Strange, but unlike cats of its ilk, a cougar cannot roar but similar to domestic cats, they do hiss, spit, growl, and even purr. Hunting and Prey Mountain lions only eat meat and will eat any animal it can catch. In Arizona, this includes deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, wild horses and domestic cattle. The cougar is an ambush hunter preferring to stalk its prey. Its killing style is delivering a powerful leap to the back of the prey with a suffocating bite to the neck."

"text": "\"Cougars, also called mountain lions, pumas and panthers, are solitary cats found throughout much of North and South America. Interaction between cougars generally only occurs during mating and between a female and her babies. Baby cougars are called cubs or kittens and remain with their mother for up to the first two years of their lives. A cougar's lifespan is approximately 10 years in the wild. Mating and Gestation Females begin breeding when they reach 2 or 3 years of age. Females give birth to a litter averaging between one and six cubs after only three months of gestation. According to The Cougar Fund, female cougars spend approximately three-quarters of their lives pregnant or raising cubs. Coloring Adult cougars are brown, tawny gray or red in color. However, when the cub is born, the fur is brown with black spots on the body and bars on the tail. When the cub reaches 2 months of age, the spots begin to fade and the cub starts to grow into its adult coloring."

It’s like I’ve been playing some kind of game but the rules don’t make any sense to me. They’re being made up by all the wrong people. ”The power of The Graduate can be summed up in two images. The first is Benjamin lying in the pool, post-graduation, trying to decide what to do in life. We’ve all been there, that coming-of-age feeling of a “quarter-life crisis,” uncertain about our future. The second is the famous shot under Mrs. Robinson’s leg. In one shot, The Graduate opened Hollywood’s bedroom door, planting the seeds for phrases like “MILF” and “cougar” and paving the way for so many sex comedies to come, from American Pie to Desperate Housewives. If you think such material shocks audiences today, imagine the impact in 1967. Together, this combo of coming-of-age politics and groundbreaking sexual revolution changed the course of movie — and American — history."

Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although daytime sightings do occur. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae, [1] [8] [9] of which only the jaguar is native to the Americas. The cougar is an ambush predator and pursues a wide variety of prey."

Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( August 2017)Climate resilience can be generally defined as the capacity for a socio-ecological system to: (1) absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and (2) adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts. [ 1] [2]With the rising awareness of climate change impacts by both national and international bodies, building climate resilience has become a major goal for these institutions. The key focus of climate resilience efforts is to address the vulnerability that communities, states, and countries currently have with regards to the environmental consequences of climate change. Currently, climate resilience efforts encompass social, economic, technological, and political strategies that are being implemented at all scales of society. From local community action to global treaties, addressing climate resilience is becoming a priority, although it could be argued that a significant amount of the theory has yet to be translated into practice. Despite this, there is a robust and ever-growing movement fueled by local and national bodies alike geared towards building and improving climate resilience.

[ 1] Currently, the majority of work regarding climate resilience has been centered around examining the capacity for social-ecological systems to sustain shocks and maintain the integrity of functional relationships in the face of external forces."

"text": "Six Ideas for Fixing the Nation's Infrastructure Problems Here's how to plan, fund and make a safer, more efficient transportation system.by Russell Nichols, Ryan Holeywell | June 2011By most accounts, transportation infrastructure in the United States is in serious disrepair. As roads and bridges across the country continue to age and deteriorate, governments at all levels are struggling to pay for maintenance and upkeep -- not to mention investments in much-needed upgrades and new projects. Since the federal Highway Trust Fund was established in the late 1950s, total combined highway and transit spending as a share of gross domestic product has fallen by about 25 percent, according to the federal National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission. Without changes to current policy, the commission projects a federal highway and transit funding gap totaling nearly $2.3 trillion through 2035. With Congress debating reauthorization of the transportation bill this summer, and with states and localities looking for their own solutions, here are six ideas for fixing the nation’s infrastructure system -- how to plan it, how to fund it and how to make it safer and more efficient than ever. Revamp the Highway Trust Fund Speaking before a conference of state transportation officials in a D. C. hotel ballroom in March, Transportation Secretary Ray La Hood challenged his audience to ask him some hardball questions. John Schroer, the transportation commissioner from Tennessee, delivered. Schroer wanted to know how Congress and the Obama administration are addressing a situation most state and local transportation officials worry about: the future of the gas tax. “ Well,” La Hood replied, “we’re not doing anything about it. ”RELATEDHow Data Can Improve Transit Efficiency America Must Invest in Bigger and Better Infrastructure Projects The 5 Biggest U. S. Infrastructure Projects, Plus 5 at Risk Voters Nationwide Choose to Pay More for Transit The Man Behind U. S. Transportation’s Future That’s a serious problem, according to virtually all transportation experts."

Share Business Sitka, Alaska, is home to one of the world’s most spectacular lakes. Nestled into a U-shaped valley of dense forests and majestic peaks, and fed by snowpack and glaciers, the reservoir, named Blue Lake for its deep blue hues, holds trillions of gallons of water so pure it requires no treatment. The city’s tiny population—fewer than 10,000 people spread across 5,000 square miles—makes this an embarrassment of riches. Every year, as countries around the world struggle to meet the water needs of their citizens, 6.2 billion gallons of Sitka’s reserves go unused. That could soon change. In a few months, if all goes according to plan, 80 million gallons of Blue Lake water will be siphoned into the kind of tankers normally reserved for oil—and shipped to a bulk bottling facility near Mumbai. From there it will be dispersed among several drought-plagued cities throughout the Middle East. The project is the brainchild of two American companies. One, True Alaska Bottling, has purchased the rights to transfer 3 billion gallons of water a year from Sitka’s bountiful reserves."

Let me start by defining the discipline and profession of land-use planning. Land use planning refers to the process by which land is allocated between competing and sometimes conflicting uses in order to secure the rational and orderly development of land in an environmentally sound manner to ensure the creation of sustainable human settlements. The process of land use planning consists in the main of the two twin functions of Development/Land use Planning and Development Control. Of necessity, these two functions must be supported by relevant research and mapping which are also major components of the land use planning process. Having defined the activity let me spend some time to put land-use planning in a wider context: why do we do it and how does the need for it arise. Land-use planning does not exist in isolation. It is necessary to view land-use planning as an integral part of the process of national growth and development. Among other things, this process seeks to identify, articulate and satisfy the basic social/human needs of a country’s population within the context of available economic/financial resources and technical knowledge."

Mark Zuckerberg was a nerdy nine-year-old in suburban New York. America's interstate highway system was aging, but working just fine. Oh, how far the country has come since August of 1993, and how far its infrastructure has ... not. The motor vehicle gas tax—those 18.4 cents that get tacked onto every gallon sold in the US—remains the primary funder of the road, bridge, and transit system. And even as inflation does its thing, cars grow more efficient, and the federal government’s transportation network expands, widens, and, yes, breaks, legislators steadfastly refuse to hike the thing. Now the Department of Transportation estimates the entire system will take at least $84 billion to maintain, not improve, each and every year. Until now, maybe.

Spain ranked number nine in this year’s Index, scoring well across the board, and especially in climate (with a score of 88 out of 100), entertainment and amenities (90), healthcare (86), and retirement infrastructure (93). Spain is a popular tourist destination because of its climate, natural beauty, warm and engaging people, cuisine, festivals, and miles of coastline. Retirees can enjoy these benefits, plus a low cost of living and a well-developed national health system. Here, we take a peek at five of Spain’s top retirement cities. Barcelona Barcelona is Spain’s second largest city, and Europe’s largest city on the Mediterranean. Several locations in Barcelona have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Palace of Catalan Music, and the Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, a large Roman Catholic church designed by architect Antoni Gaudi. Host of the 1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona offers retirees arts and culture, sports, food and wine, history, architecture, outdoor recreation, beaches, and an exciting nightlife.

"text": "The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release February 09, 2016FACT SHEET: Cybersecurity National Action Plan Taking bold actions to protect Americans in today’s digital world. From the beginning of his Administration, the President has made it clear that cybersecurity is one of the most important challenges we face as a Nation, and for more than seven years he has acted comprehensively to confront that challenge. Working together with Congress, we took another step forward in this effort in December with the passage of the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, which provides important tools necessary to strengthen the Nation’s cybersecurity, particularly by making it easier for private companies to share cyber threat information with each other and the Government. But the President believes that more must be done – so that citizens have the tools they need to protect themselves, companies can defend their operations and information, and the Government does its part to protect the American people and the information they entrust to us. That is why, today, the President is directing his Administration to implement a Cybersecurity National Action Plan (CNAP) that takes near-term actions and puts in place a long-term strategy to enhance cybersecurity awareness and protections, protect privacy, maintain public safety as well as economic and national security, and empower Americans to take better control of their digital security. The Challenge From buying products to running businesses to finding directions to communicating with the people we love, an online world has fundamentally reshaped our daily lives. But just as the continually evolving digital age presents boundless opportunities for our economy, our businesses, and our people, it also presents a new generation of threats that we must adapt to meet. Criminals, terrorists, and countries who wish to do us harm have all realized that attacking us online is often easier than attacking us in person. As more and more sensitive data is stored online, the consequences of those attacks grow more significant each year. Identity theft is now the fastest growing crime in America."

By Jamey Perkins Homeland Security is a generic term which is used to describe a unified, organized and concerted approach to protecting our nation from terrorist attack. This means that America�s vulnerability to terrorism will be reduced and in the event of such an attack, that damage would be minimized. The Department of Homeland Security and What it Does The Office of Homeland Security was created on October 8th 2001 by the Bush administration, as a direct result of the tragic events of 9/11. The President directed that its first job was to produce a National Strategy for Homeland Security. Eight months of intense consultation across the country led to the strategy finally being published in July 2002. This strategy describes four specific goals: To prevent and disrupt attacks from terrorist organizations and groups;To protect our people, our resources and our critical infrastructure;To respond to incidents and recover from them; and To continue to learn lessons and strengthen the foundation of Homeland Security and ensure our long-term success. As our understanding and knowledge of terrorism increases and other disasters occur, such as Hurricane Katrina, then the intention will be to learn from them and improve our approach to defending and securing our nation. The strategy lists six detailed critical mission areas. The first three (intelligence and warning, border and transportation security and domestic counterterrorism) focus on the prevention of terrorism, the fourth and fifth (protecting critical infrastructure, and defending against catastrophic terrorism) focus on reducing national vulnerabilities and the last one (emergency preparedness and response) focuses on minimizing damage in the event of an attack."

"text": "\"Overview The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the United States from terrorist attacks and other disasters. Created in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, DHS has largely focused on federal preparations to deal with terrorism while trying to manage other duties, including border security, customs and emergency management. The department’s fixation on terrorism has resulted in considerable controversy and criticism, including accusations of violating civil liberties.more History: The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, prompted federal officials to examine how such an attack was allowed to occur. The post-9/11 debate eventually turned to how the federal government could prevent future attacks by terrorists. Exactly one month after the attacks, Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) introduced legislation to create a Department of Homeland Security. The Bush administration rejected the idea, but Democratic members of the Senate continued to press it. Finally, in June 2002, more than seven months after the initial proposal, President Bush reversed his stand. The Homeland Security Act called for pulling together various federal agencies and offices into the newly established Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by the first Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, former Republican governor of Pennsylvania. In creating DHS, some agencies maintained their name and missions, while others ceased to exist and their duties were distributed among new DHS units. For example, the US Customs Service, formerly part of the Treasury Department, was split into the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

What is your government technology infrastructure plan of action for the coming year? Here are seven must-have strategies for enterprises to enable long-lasting innovation.by Dan Lohrmann / January 4, 2015credit: Katherine Lohrmann More than fifty years ago, U. S. government leaders recognized a huge infrastructure need for our nation to succeed both economically and militarily. In order for goods and services to quickly move around our country, something big needed to be done to our transportation networks. After the best and brightest came together to construct a new national strategy, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal Highways Act of 1956 to implement a massive road-building project. President Eisenhower vision turned into a reality that now offers over 47,700 miles of roadway in our nationwide interstate network. Today, our opportunities to improve are just as great in our new 21st century information society; however, our current needs are different. Technology upgrades are essential to enable the online services that require an upgraded electronic transport infrastructure that is both safe and fast. In order to take full advantage of the explosive growth in data as well as new service opportunities, there is a desperate need for infrastructure action at federal, state and local levels of government. The trouble is, progress is not as easy as just buying new technology."

A progressive and welfare state (country) would never ignore its indisputable need for socialisation of its masses of which education is considered to be the chief organ for this purpose. Education is an important component of economic and social development and contributes significantly to a country’s progress. It is considered to be the investment in human capital as it builds human capabilities, which is a vital nation-building ingredient. Without spread of literacy, the dream of socio-2economic development of the country can never be realized (Abdul, Q. M., Muhammad, A. and Faiza, B., 2004). According to Abdul etal (2004), Secondary education is an important sub-sector of the entire education system. It varies from country to country. It is the schooling designed for students in the age bracket of 12-16 years who are enrolled in secondary schools. Secondary education is a stage where, a student enters at adolescence, the most crucial state in one’s personality development. It comes at a time when a child is in his/her most impressionable and formative years."

"text": "Oil Change International is a research, communication, and advocacy organization focused on exposing the true costs of fossil fuels and facilitating the coming transition towards clean energy. Fossil Fuel Subsidies Overview What is a fossil fuel subsidy? A fossil fuel subsidy is any government action that lowers the cost of fossil fuel energy production, raises the price received by energy producers, or lowers the price paid by energy consumers. Essentially, it’s anything that rigs the game in favor of fossil fuels compared to other energy sources. The most obvious subsidies are direct funding and tax giveaways, but there are many activities that count as subsidies – loans and guarantees at favorable rates, price controls, governments providing resources like land and water to fossil fuel companies at below-market rates, research and development funding, and more. What’s wrong with fossil fuel subsidies? Which funding would you rather cut – funding for climate chaos or for feeding families? One of the most urgent reasons to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies is the rapidly dwindling carbon budget – the remaining amount of greenhouse gases we are able to emit while having a hope of staying below the temperature warming limits agreed to by world leaders. But, there is enough carbon in the fossil fuel resources already under development, globally, to surpass those limits. Simply put, we can not develop any new oil, gas, and coal resources and hope to stay on target."

The first Quadrennial Homeland Security Review was conducted in 2010 and updated in 2014 and has helped to guide policy and program actions in homeland security. The exclusive focus by all levels of government on terrorism after the September 11 attacks reduced emergency response capabilities across the nation resulting in the botched response to Hurricane Katrina.

Introduction In the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, as search-and-rescue teams were still sifting through the debris and wreckage for survivors in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the federal government was analyzing what had just happened and what it could quickly do to begin the process of ensuring such attacks could not be repeated. It was recognized that nothing too substantial could take place without longer-term study and congressional review, but the circumstances mandated that real changes begin without delay. The idea to establish a dedicated homeland security capacity was primarily the result of the White House, the federal government, and the US Congress’s reactions to September 11 events. However, the movement to establish such broad-sweeping measures began long before those attacks took place. Domestic and international terrorists have been striking Americans, American facilities, and American interests, both within and outside the nation’s borders, for decades—though only fleeting interest in such changes was garnered in the aftermath of these events. Support for budget-intensive counterterrorism programs that required significant reorganization of government, and the legislation that accompanied such measures, was therefore rather weak, and those actions that were taken rarely warranted “front-page” status for the media."

It reduces corona losses in transmission lines in power system. Wave trap is installed in the substation for trapping the high frequency communication signal sent on the line from remote substation and diverting them to the telecom panel in substation control room. These high frequency signal should not be coming on the buses as these may damage the equipments . A wave trap is a device that allow only a particular frequency to pass through it that it filters the signals coming on to it . So a wave trap is connected between buses and the transmission line which allow only 50 Hz signal to pass through it. This is relevant in power carrier communication (PLCC) system for communication among various substation without dependence on telecom company network .

"text": "\"Ganesh Subramaniam, Amateur Radio Operator, Amateur Astronomer Answered May 21, 2015 · Author has 2.3k answers and 3.6m answer views CAPACITORS are electrical/electronic components which store electrical energy. Capacitors consist of two conductors that are separated by an insulating material or dielectric. When an electrical current is passed through the conductor pair, a static electric field develops in the dielectric which represents the stored energy. Unlike batteries, this stored energy is not maintained indefinitely, as the dielectric allows for a certain amount of current leakage which results in the gradual dissipation of the stored energy. A capacitor bank is a grouping of several identical capacitors inter-connected in parallel or in series with one another as required. The demand for power is expressed in units of Kilo watt (kw) or Mega watt (Mw). This power is supplied by an electrical generating station. In alternating power system (AC), reactive power always comes in to picture. This reactive power is expressed in Kilo VAR or Mega VAR.. The demand of this reactive power is mainly originated from inductive load connected to the system. These inductive loads are generally electromagnetic circuit of electric motors, electrical transformers, inductance of transmission and distribution networks, induction furnaces, etc."

Conversely, DC is passed by a choke, while AC is blocked. At least, that's the simple answer. This is used very often in electronics. In a digital circuit, most every IC will have one or more bypass capacitors, strung between power and ground. The DC component of that power rail goes into the chip, while the AC component -- otherwise known as noise when found on a DC power supply -- sees the cap as an short circuit to ground. The effectiveness of a cap passing AC depends on the value of the cap, the quality of the cap (since all capacitors, while designed as capacitors, also exhibit a certain amount of resistance and inductance), and the frequency of the AC signal. Every real world capacitor has a characteristic resonant frequency, above which the effect of that parasitic inductor starts to dominate.

These important capacitors are called line filter capacitors because they are used to filter-out /remove RF (radio frequency) line disturbance and interference picked up by your home power lines. Line filter capacitors also help to keep you safe from nasty (possible fatal) electrical shocks, by isolating the “hot” side of your 120 volt power line from your radios chassis. Noise interference is picked up in power lines from all kinds of household appliances such as washers & dryers, electric shavers, refrigerator motors, fans, air conditioners, light dimmers, lawn mowers, etc. Line filter capacitors pass noise interference ground (rather than your ears). Back in the good old days (when you tube radio was made) there was a lot less interference as there were far fewer electrical appliances in a typical home. Also, safety standards were no where near as strict as they are today …and, of course, safety capacitors had not been invented. If tube radios were manufactured today in 2004, AC rated line filter safety capacitors would be required. The capacitors that filter out interference from the 110-120 volt AC (alternating current) power coming from your wall plug go by a number of names.

In other words, high-frequency signals go through much easier and low-frequency signals have a much harder getting through, which is why it's a high pass filter. High pass filters can be constructed using resistors with either capacitors or inductors. A high pass filter composed of a resistor and a capacitor is called a high pass RC filter. And a high pass filter with a resistor and an inductor is called a high pass RL filter. We will go through both of these type of circuits on this page and show how both RC and LC high pass filters are constructed. Both circuits have the effect of passing through high frequency signals while impeding low-frequency ones. High Pass RC Filter A high pass RC filter, again, is a filter which passes through high-frequency signals, composed of a resistor and capacitor. To create a high pass RC filter, the capacitor is placed in series with the power signal entering the circuit, such as shown in the circuit below: The above is a high pass filter. As a capacitor is a reactive device, it offers differing resistance to signals of different frequencies entering through it."

Share Pin Email Print Copyright: Public Domain (PD)by Matthew Burris Updated October 22, 2017One of the most ubiquitous passive components used is the capacitor, found in nearly every electronic device ever made. Capacitors have a number of essential applications in circuit design, providing flexible filter options, noise reduction, power storage and sensing capabilities for designers. Filter Applications Combined with resistors, capacitors are often used as the main element of frequency selective filters. The available filter designs and topologies are numerous and can be tailored for frequency and performance by selecting the proper component values and quality. Some of the types of filter designs include: High Pass Filter (HPF)Low Pass Filter (LPF)Band Pass Filter (BPF)Band Stop Filter (BSF)Notch Filter All Pass Filter Equalization Filter Decoupling/By-Pass Capacitors Capacitors play a critical role in the stable operation of digital electronics by protecting sensitive microchips from noise on the power signal which can cause anomalous behaviors. Capacitors used in this application are called decoupling capacitors and should be placed as close as possible to each microchip to be most effective, as all circuit traces act as antennas and will pick up noise from the surrounding environment. Decoupling and by-pass capacitors are also used in any area of a circuit to reduce the overall impact of electrical noise. Coupling or DC Blocking Capacitors Since capacitors have the ability to pass AC signals while blocking DC, they can be used to separate the AC and DC components of a signal. The value of the capacitor does not need to be precise or accurate for coupling, but it should be a high value as the reactance of the capacitor drives the performance in coupling applications."

"text": "Tech Papers White Paper on Implementing PTP in Substations David Ingram, Brian Smellie This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. Executive Summary Advanced substation automation applications such as wide area phasor monitoring (Phasor Measurement Unit – PMU) and sampled value process buses require synchronising accuracy to be better than 1 µs, rather than the 1–2 ms that is generally required today. Substation automation systems are now using Ethernet to communicate between SCADA systems and protection relays. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time synchronisation system that uses the substation LAN, rather than a dedicated time distribution system, that can synchronise protection relays, merging units and other devices to better than 1 µs. This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. The operation of PTP using the “Power Profile” is explained and examples of how PTP can be used in new and existing substations are presented. Tekron has over fifteen years’ experience in producing timing equipment for the power industry. Their latest substation timing products support PTP and this white paper explains how these can be used to meet the timing needs of modern substation automation applications, while retaining compatibility with existing substation protection and control designs. This allows utility and industrial substation operators to gradually gain experience with PTP.1. Challenges in substation timing Time synchronisation has been required in substations for many years to ensure consistent time-stamping of events, with a required accuracy of 1 millisecond (1 ms)."

Built by ASEA in 1966, the unit is hydrogen cooled and capable of three phase power at 125 MVA. In electrical engineering, a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator) is a DC-excited synchronous motor, whose shaft is not connected to anything but spins freely. [ 1] Its purpose is not to convert electric power to mechanical power or vice versa, but to adjust conditions on the electric power transmission grid. Its field is controlled by a voltage regulator to either generate or absorb reactive power as needed to adjust the grid's voltage, or to improve power factor. The condenser’s installation and operation are identical to large electric motors and generators. Increasing the device's field excitation results in its furnishing reactive power (measured in units of var) to the system. Its principal advantage is the ease with which the amount of correction can be adjusted. The kinetic energy stored in the rotor of the machine can help stabilize a power system during rapid fluctuations of loads such as those created by short circuits or electric arc furnaces. Large installations of synchronous condensers are sometimes used in association with high-voltage direct current converter stations to supply reactive power to the alternating current grid."

"text": "\"Repair Your Electronics by Replacing Blown Capacitorsby fhidiort in repair Download 6 Steps Share Favorite I Made it!Collection Checking for blown capacitors in your malfunctioning electronics is fast and easy if know what you're looking for. Replacing one part at a couple dollars a piece is much cheaper than replacing an entire monitor for hundreds of dollars! Monitors, digital converters, and other video- related electronics commonly have power issues that are caused by faulty (read: low quality production) capacitors. Common symptoms include: - Unit won't turn on - Unit won't return from standby - Unit turns on and off intermittently - Screen flickering or distorted - Lines across the screen If you're experiencing any of these, it's worth taking several minutes to check your circuit board capacitors. Step 1: Tools Needed Checking the capacitor just requires your eyeballs but replacing them requires a few tools: - Screwdriver, hex wrench, or whatever's needed to open the case - Soldering iron - Replacement capacitors (you will find the values for this in the following steps) Also optional but helpful is soldering wick, which is available for fairly cheap at Radio Shack. In this example I'm repairing a digital TV converter box that will power on, but does not activate from standby. Step 2: Open the Case Most important: power off and unplug your unit! Using your screwdriver or other tools, open up the electronics case so that you have easy access to the circuit board. If you're having trouble, look up the manual online to find out where the various screws and tabs are to open the case. Bring it up the light so you can see the electrolytic capacitors easily."

"text": "\"Summons From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Summons (disambiguation). Legally, a summons (also known in England and Wales as a claim form and in the Australian state of New South Wales as a Court Attendance Notice (CAN)) is a legal document issued by a court (a judicial summons) or by an administrative agency of government (an administrative summons) for various purposes. Contents [ hide ]1 Judicial summons2 Types of summonses2.1 Citation2.2 Civil summons2.3 Administrative summons3 Summonses by jurisdictions3.1 Australia3.2 England and Wales3.3 United States4 See also5 Notes6 External links Judicial summons [ edit]A judicial summons is served on a person involved in a legal proceeding. Legal action may be in progress against the person, or the person's presence as witness may be required. [ 1] In the former case, the summons will typically announce to the person to whom it is directed that a legal proceeding has been started against that person, and that a case has been initiated in the issuing court. In some jurisdictions, it may be drafted in legal English difficult for the layman to understand, while several U. S. states expressly require summonses to be drafted in plain English and that they must start with this phrase: \"\"Notice! You have been sued.\"\" [ citation needed]The summons announces a date by which the person or persons summoned must either appear in court, or respond in writing to the court or the opposing party or parties. The summons is the descendant of the writ of the common law. It replaces the former procedure in common-law countries by which the plaintiff actually had to ask the sheriff to arrest the defendant in order for the court to obtain personal jurisdiction in both criminal and civil actions."

"text": "What Should You Do If You Have Been Charged Or Summoned To A Criminal Court Below are the basics of what an individual should do immediately following being charged by police or receiving a summons in the post. There are two ways that an individual can be brought before the criminal courts and this is either by summons or charge. In the vast majority of cases commonly referred to as road traffic offences such as speeding, driving without due care and attention and no insurance, an individual will often receive a summons through the post informing them of a court date. A summons is information which must be served on an individual within six months of the offence allegedly having been committed. The second way is as a result of a charge; this inevitably will mean an individual has attended a police station either voluntarily or under arrest and a custody sergeant will formally charge an individual, hand them a charge sheet and give them a court date. Of course, individuals that are charged are not taken by surprise as opposed to those who receive summonses through the post – often for minor road traffic offences which it had been hoped would not be proceeded with. In either of the above situations, the individual will have a court date to work towards. Criminal Charges In a fair percentage of cases where the police charge with an offence (s), an individual would have engaged the services of a solicitor during the investigation process and that solicitor quite often will continue to act for the individual during the magistrate court proceedings and beyond. However, sometimes an individual has not instructed a solicitor during the police investigation and if a charge is preferred it is at this stage that an individual should – before they do anything else with the case – consider instructing a solicitor. Depending on the nature of the charge, legal aid may be available or a decision may be made to instruct a solicitor privately."

This is very difficult as judges, clerks, and staff of the court are not permitted to give you any legal advice. All your legal papers must be submitted in the proper form and filed on time. Since divorce cases often involve important issues about property, debt division, financial support, legal decision-making (child custody), and parenting time it is in your best interests to at least consult with an attorney before even contemplating representing yourself.

"text": "Served By a Debt Collector? What To Do Nextby Randall Ryder on January 19th, 2017Getting served with a debt collection lawsuit is one of the more upsetting things that can happen to you. When a process server hands a summons and complaint to you (or to someone you live with who can accept service), it means a debt collector is dragging you into the legal system. And while getting served with a debt collection lawsuit is not fun, it is not the end of the world. In fact, that summons and complaint—legal process—provides rights to both parties to the case. Which means as a defendant in a debt collection lawsuit, you now have access to tools to defend yourself. Let’s take a look at the first few parts of a lawsuit to try to dispel the fear and misunderstanding. Service Getting served just means that you have been given notice of a lawsuit, in this case by a debt collector. You are served if you are handed a copy of the summons and complaint or if a summons and complaint is given to someone “of suitable age and discretion” at your home. In general, that means someone else who lives at your house and is old enough to accept service."

"text": "The Divorce Process in South Africa The divorce process in South Africa is relatively straightforward, yet the financial and emotional consequences can be profound, especially since most divorces are normally lodged in the High Court. The other harsh reality is that the High Courts in South Africa have overly burdened court rolls, and parties normally have to wait a long time for their divorce matter to go to trial when their divorce is contested. The backlog in cases was somewhat lessened when the Regional Courts Amendment Act came into effect in 2010 to amend the Magistrates’ Courts Act, 1944, so as to allow regional divisions of the magistrates’ courts to also deal with divorce cases. A divorce action is instituted by the issuing of a summons. You can divorce in either the Regional Court of the Magistrate Court having jurisdiction in your area or in the High Court. To start the divorce process you need to serve a Summons. A divorce summons is unique in that it must be served personally on the defendant by the sheriff of the court. A court has jurisdiction in a divorce action if one or both parties are:domiciled in the area of jurisdiction of the court on the date on which the action is instituted; orordinarily resident in the area of jurisdiction of the court on the said date and has/have been ordinarily resident in South Africa for a period of not less than one year immediately prior to that date. There are typically two types of divorces, the contested or opposed divorce and the uncontested or unopposed. The latter type of divorce is the best and most cost effective for all parties concerned."

A failure to answer on time will be viewed as a default, which means any allegations posed against you may be deemed as evidence, and judgment could be entered against you. Complaint The complaint is the document that truly starts the divorce process. The required contents of a divorce complaint vary by state, but generally a divorce complaint states the parties' place of residence and how long they lived there; the date of the marriage; minor children born of the marriage; property of the marriage; other court actions involving the parties; the date of separation; and whether either party is receiving public assistance. It also asks the court for the relief that the spouse filing the complaints is asking for, such as child support, custody and spousal support. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More Answer The answer is a written response to the divorce petition or complaint. It tells the court that you want to be involved in the legal process.

This means that you have been randomly selected by a computer to be a prospective Grand Jury or trial jury member in the Superior Court. It means that you have been selected to participate in one of a citizen's most sacred privileges and provides you with an opportunity to do a patriotic duty. Jury service also gives you the opportunity to see first hand how the courts in their community function. You should read both the summons, and the letter accompanying the summons, very carefully and completely to make sure that you understand exactly when and where you are to report for jury service as well other matters which are important to you and to the Courts. Georgia law provides that you MUST respond to a summons for jury duty and report, if not excused earlier, or face penalties, including the payment of a fine of up to $300.00. It is VERY IMPORTANT to follow all instructions in the letter and summons carefully and completely. If your summons says to call a particular phone number the day you are to report for jury duty, you should do so. Failure to do so may cause you unnecessary time and expense which could have been avoided had you followed the instructions.2."

"text": "All you need to know about HIPAA compliance In an era where healthcare records are increasingly maintained online and in the cloud, compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that is, HIPAA compliance, is more important than ever to keep information from becoming vulnerable. Working in healthcare often requires sifting through a preponderance of sensitive personal information (PHI)—and if you work with sensitive data, following the established HIPAA guidelines in an ever-evolving world will ensure appropriate and consistent security, accessibility, and confidentiality. It’s important to know what your company needs to do in order to comply with federal regulations for protecting patient information. The U. S. Department of Health & Human Services established the HIPAA Rules in order to ensure that PHI remains confidential and is disclosed only as needed for patient care. These rules also critically arm the patient with rights to his or her own personal information and provide safeguards for health care providers and other covered entities. What protected health information (PHI) is subject to HIPAA compliance rules? HHS refers to any “individually identifiable health information” as protected health information. This includes any information about a patient’s past, present, and future physical or mental health or condition; any health care provided to the patient; past, present, or future payment to the patient for health care provision; and identifying personal details, including demographic information. So, HIPAA casts a wide net in limiting and restricting the use or disclosure of sensitive info. Who should be mindful of HIPAA regulations?"

"text": "Mobile health: How to comply with HIPAABy MHN Staff June 17, 2011Share By Adam H. Greene, JD, MPH, former Senior Health Information Technology and Privacy Specialist at the HHS Office for Civil Rights, where he was responsible for applying the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules to health IT, now a partner in the Health IT/HIPAA practice of Davis Wright Tremaine. Once you have established that your mobile application is going to be subject to HIPAA, the next step is making sure that it allows its users (HIPAA covered entities or business associates) to fully comply with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. You will need to focus on how your application shares protected health information, what security measures are in place, and how a user can tell if the information has been breached. First, your application must allow the covered entity to comply with the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Generally, this means that the application does not make any uses or disclosures of “protected health information” that are not permitted by the Privacy Rule. If your application sends patient zip codes to you or a third party for the purpose of market research or for another impermissible purpose, then this would cause the covered entity to violate the Privacy Rule (unless the covered entity has obtained the patient’s authorization). Presumably, you are not interested in exposing your users to millions of dollars of potential HIPAA liability. Accordingly, you should avoid altogether having your software make any disclosures of protected health information that are not permitted under HIPAA -- even if you have received the covered entity’s or business associate’s consent (they may be unaware that they are getting themselves into hot water by agreeing). If your application uses protected health information and is used by the covered entity to make treatment or payment decisions about the individual, then it may be part of the covered entity’s “designated record set.” An individual has a number of HIPAA privacy rights with respect to information in their designated record set (such as medical and billing records)."

The definition of Business Associates for the most part has not changed. Simply stated, a HIPAA Business Associate is an organization or individual that performs services for a covered entity (healthcare organization) that has access to protected health information (PHI). PHI is also known as patient information. What did the HIPAA Omnibus Rule do to Business Associates The new HIPAA rule made Business Associates directly liable for compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. Here is a quote from the Executive Summary of the HIPAA Omnibus rule: Make business associates of covered entities directly liable for compliance with certain of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules’ requirements. In addition, the HIPAA Omnibus Rule made subcontractors of Business Associates directly liable for complying with the HIPAA regulations as well.

The evidence-based information produced by these researchers helps health care decision-makers make more informed decisions and improve the quality of health care services. Studies in health services research are often accomplished by analyzing large databases of health care information collected or maintained by health care providers, institutions, payers, and government agencies. With the implementation of the Federal Privacy Rule, health services researchers and database custodians have sought information about the Rule and how it may affect the use and disclosure of data for health services research. As of April 14, 2003 , the Privacy Rule requires many health care providers and health insurers to obtain additional documentation from researchers before disclosing personal health information for research and to scrutinize researchers' requests for access to health information more closely. Although the Privacy Rule introduces new rules for the use and disclosure of health information by covered entities, researchers can help to enable their continued access to health data by understanding the Privacy Rule and assisting health care entities covered by the Privacy Rule in meeting its requirements. This factsheet discusses the Privacy Rule and how it permits certain health care providers, health plans, and other entities covered by the Privacy Rule to use and disclose personal health information for health services research. Additional information about the Privacy Rule can be found in related publications, including: Protecting Personal Health Information in Research: Understanding the HIPAA Privacy Rule Clinical Research and the HIPAA Privacy Rule Research Repositories, Databases, and the HIPAA Privacy Rule Institutional Review Boards and the HIPAA Privacy Rule Privacy Boards and the HIPAA Privacy Rule Introduction to the Privacy Rule In response to a congressional mandate in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the regulations Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information. For most covered entities, compliance with these regulations, known as the Privacy Rule, was required as of April 14, 2003. The Privacy Rule is a response to public concern over potential abuses of the privacy of health information."

"text": "\"Overview: Each time a patient sees a doctor, is admitted to a hospital, goes to a pharmacist or sends a claim to a health plan, a record is made of their confidential health information. In the past, family doctors and other health care providers protected the confidentiality of those records by sealing them away in file cabinets and refusing to reveal them to anyone else. Today, the use and disclosure of this information is protected by a patchwork of state laws, leaving gaps in the protection of patients' privacy and confidentiality. Congress recognized the need for national patient record privacy standards in 1996 when they enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The law included provisions designed to save money for health care businesses by encouraging electronic transactions, but it also required new safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of that information. The law gave Congress until August 21, 1999, to pass comprehensive health privacy legislation. When Congress did not enact such legislation after three years, the law required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to craft such protections by regulation. In November 1999, HHS published proposed regulations to guarantee patients new rights and protections against the misuse or disclosure of their health records. During an extended comment period, HHS received more than 52,000 communications from the public. In December 2000, HHS issued a final rule that made significant changes in order to address issues raised by the comments."

Essentially, the Privacy Rule defines how covered entities use individually-identifiable health information or the PHI (Personal Health Information). ' Covered entities' is a term often used in HIPAA-compliant guidelines. This definition of a covered entity is specified by [45 CFR § 160.102] of the Privacy Rule. A covered entity can be a: Health plan Healthcare clearinghouse Healthcare provider Overview of the Privacy Rule Gives patients control over the use of their health information Defines boundaries for the use/disclosure of health records by covered entities Establishes national-level standards that healthcare providers must comply with Helps to limit the use of PHI and minimizes chances of its inappropriate disclosure Strictly investigates compliance-related issues and holds violators accountable with civil or criminal penalties for violating the privacy of an individual's PHISupports the cause of disclosing PHI without individual consent for individual healthcare needs, public benefit and national interests HIPAA realizes that there is a critical need to balance the steps taken for the protection of an individual's health information along with provision of proper healthcare faculties. The Privacy Rule strives hard to regulate the sharing of PHI without making it a deterrent for accessing healthcare facilities."

"text": "\"SCOPE OF CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT UNDER 42 U. S. C. § 1320d-6Covered entities and those persons rendered accountable by general principles of corporate criminal liability may be prosecuted directly under 42 U. S. C. § 1320d-6, and the knowingly element of the offense set forth in that provision requires only proof of knowledge of the facts that constitute the offense. June 1, 2005MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE GENERAL COUNSEL DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND THE SENIOR COUNSEL TO THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERALYou have asked jointly for our opinion concerning the scope of 42 U. S. C. § 1320d-6 (2000), the criminal enforcement provision of the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-191, 110 Stat. 1936 (\"\"HIPAA\"\"). Specifically, you have asked, first, whether the only persons who may be directly liable under section 1320d-6 are those persons to whom the substantive requirements of the subtitle, as set forth in the regulations promulgated thereunder, apply—i.e., health plans, health care clearinghouses, certain health care providers, and Medicare prescription drug card sponsors—or whether this provision may also render directly liable other persons, particularly those who obtain protected health information in a manner that causes a person to whom the substantive requirements of the subtitle apply to release the information in violation of that law. We conclude that health plans, health care clearinghouses, those health care providers specified in the statute, and Medicare prescription drug card sponsors may be prosecuted for violations of section 1320d-6. In addition, depending on the facts of a given case, certain directors, officers, and employees of these entities may be liable directly under section 1320d-6, in accordance with general principles of corporate criminal liability, as these principles are developed in the course of particular prosecutions. Other persons may not be liable directly under this provision."

"text": "\"THE HITECH ACTThe Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ( HITECH Act or \"\"The Act\"\") is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). ARRA contains incentives related to health care information technology in general (e.g. creation of a national health care infrastructure) and contains specific incentives designed to accelerate the adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems among providers. Because this legislation anticipates a massive expansion in the exchange of electronic protected health information (e PHI), the HITECH Act also widens the scope of privacy and security protections available under HIPAA; it increases the potential legal liability for non-compliance; and it provides for more enforcement. Questions about HIPAA Compliance in this post HITECH/Omnibus Final Rule world? Get up to speed fast with the HIPAA Survival Guide Fourth Edition and our O mnibus R ule R eady™ HIPAA Compliance Tools. The following discussion will highlight some of the HITECH Act 's key provisions, but only those that are HIPAA centric. For example, financial incentives (i.e. the actual numbers) for EHR adoption under Medicare and Medicaid have been widely dissected online and are not covered here (some of the websites that contain specific financial incentive information may be located in the Appendix). Consistent with the objectives of this guide, the intent is to provide an overview so that providers can obtain a \"\"big picture\"\" view of legislation likely to impact their practices in significant ways going forward. Many of the HITECH Act 's requirements become effective 12 months from the date of enactment, but there are other effective dates that operate on a different schedule. We will not cover the various effective dates because other resources available on the Internet capture this information in detail (see the Appendix)."

The 2013 amendments, which are effective on March 26, 2013, supplement and modify the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Breach Reporting, and Enforcement Rules. Among the most significant changes in the 2013 amendments are the provisions that extend the Privacy and Security Rule's stringent compliance obligations to business associates (BA) and expand the definition of BAs to include subcontractors of BAs. Why the changes? The HITECH Act of 2009 specifically extends direct liability to BAs and expands the list of obligations for BAs. HHS extends BA obligations even further to ensure the privacy and security of all PHI throughout the HIPAA ecosystem. Under the existing HIPAA Rules, a BA is a subcontractor of a HIPAA-covered entity (CE)—including a provider as defined by HIPAA, a health plan or a healthcare clearinghouse—that performs HIPAA-defined administrative and operational functions on behalf of the CE involving protected health information (PHI). Importantly, the definition of a BA now includes the BA's subcontractor (for purposes of this Alert, a BA Subcontractor) and the subcontractor of the subcontractor, i.e., all of the downstream entities that receive, access, maintain and/or disclose PHI. BA Subcontractors must ensure compliance with the 2013 amendments by September 23, 2013, including entering into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), with some exceptions for entities with agreements in effect as of January 25, 2013, that comply with principal sections of the Security and Privacy Rule."

"text": "\"Crab Animal Symbolism Symbolic Crab Meaning Animal symbolism of the crab deals primarily with elements of water, moon and carries themes of protection. Crabs are strong lunar symbols, and we see the crab's connection with the moon astrologically, esoterically and universally. For example, the crab is featured in the Tarot where a crab (or sometimes a lobster or crayfish) is indicated on the Moon card and enhances the overall symbolism this card represents. Indeed, the moon symbolically serves as a matronly guardian of the crab, and oversees its wellbeing amidst its watery world. More about moon and its symbolism can be found here. Astrologically, the sign of Cancer carries the symbol of the crab. More about this intriguing sign can be found here . Crabs cast off their shells for new ones, and this is where the rebirth/cycling association plays its part. The protective animal symbolism is evident in the hard, spiny exo-skeleton found with these creatures. When the crab crawls into our consciousness we're reminded of the cyclical nature in our lives and what protection we may need for the path on which we embark."

"text": "\"Ancient Zodiacs, Star Names, and Constellations: Essays and Critiques The Origin of the Zodiac by Gary D. Thompson Copyright © 2001-2018 by Gary D. Thompson Return To Site Contents Page The Origin of the Zodiac The term zodiac indicates not only the 12 constellations marked along the ecliptic but also the signs (artificial equal divisions) that take their names from these constellations. The myth of a prehistoric 12-constellation zodiac (of equal divisions) is not yet extinguished. The suggestion that the zodiac was originally established as an intended scheme of 12 constellations and 12 equal divisions some 6000 years ago (or even earlier) is untenable. The fact that these ideas have been effectively disposed of seems to be ignored in publications addressed to the jury and not the bench. The zodiac is not that old. It is Babylonian in origin and dates to the 5th-century BCE. There is no evidence that the Greek scheme of 12 zodiacal constellations existed anywhere prior to its evolvement in Greece circa 500 BCE. The Assyriologist Peter Jensen was the first to show, in his book Die Kosmologie der Babylonier (1890), that the Greek zodiac (and zodiacal constellation names) was adapted (with few changes) from the (newly developed) zodiacal scheme of the Babylonians. However, it is still erroneously assumed by some that the zodiacal constellations were recognised/established at the same time and place. The Mesopotamian astronomical texts show that this was not the case."

Crab people are usually very sensitive, guarded people who take a long time to open up to and trust others. Crab teaches us to shield ourselves when necessary, but not to let our emotions get the better of us. Cancer is the astrological sign associated with this animal. Crabs are meticulous house keepers, devoting a great deal of time to maintaining their space, and crab people tend to also have deep connections with their homes. Crabs are also known for their sideways walk – and symbolize the importance of being able to walk in new directions in life. Personal Reflection…When crab appears to you ask yourself if you have been too isolated and withdrawn from others? Are your emotions getting the better of you at this time? Crab people have the wonderful ability to feel to the depths of their soul – which can be a great gift in joyful times and can be very tough in challenging times. Avoid the instinctive call to “withdraw” or hide."

"text": "Time lapse of molting giant spider crab96772Share Share Plants and Animals You Tube Advertisment Crustaceans have hard exoskeletons which protect them from predators. As they grow, the exoskeleton can become too tight. To get rid of the exoskeleton they have to molt and climb out of the existing shell before growing a new one. The process starts weeks before actually getting rid of the shell. Enzymes are produced and secreted in order to separate the exoskeleton. The crab also pulls and wiggles around inside the shell to encourage separation. About 24 hours before actually molting, the crab takes in a great deal of water in order to swell up and split a seam that runs along the side of the body. Once the seam has split, the crab merely crawls out. This aspect of molting takes about fifteen minutes. Once they have shed the old shell, their soft bodies are exposed and vulnerable, though their thin proto-shell hardens up in about a week."

Answer by Lolagran Confidence votes 766Yes, crabs can regrow a limb that they have lost or that they have dropped. What happens is that they grow a small gel limb and when they go down to molt, the leg is regenerated. Regular legs can usually be regrown in one molt, the pinchers take two and sometimes three molts for the limb to reach the appropriate size.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Hermit Crab Tips MOLTINGMy Hermit is Molting What do I do? LEAVE HIM ALONE? YESHermit crabs need to isolate themselves to be able to molt. They will often climb under the sand (which we recommend since it is their natural environment) or sometimes a piece of wood. They like a moist environment for this. They are protecting themselves from predators when they become soft. They will completely loose their outer shell and shed it and grow a new skin which hardens to a shell. Their exoskeletons are usually found near the molting crab. It looks similar to a dead crab but is hollow if you look real close. Do not remove it as they eat it when they are finished."

Either way, you want to freshen up on your hermit crab basics and make sure your beloved pet is safe and well. So these few steps will help you perfect your skills!Steps1 Select an enclosure. The best enclosure to use is a glass aquarium. Size is a very important factor when deciding how many hermit crabs you will keep. A good rule of thumb is - one inch per gallon. to determine how many inches your crabs are, measure across the shell opening. Remember, the habitat (or as many people call \"\"crabitat\"\" or simply \"\"the tat\"\") needs to be able to hold three dishes, climbing toys, shelters, shells, and space for the crabs to walk around. You don't want the tank to be crowded, but you don't want it to be too open, either. A ten-gallon tank usually does nicely for a maximum of six small hermit crabs."

These small crustaceans are known for being sociable and easy to care for. As pets, they will rarely pinch their owners if they are cared for properly. Their wild counterparts, on the other hand, often make unfriendly pets. In general, there are two main types, the land and the marine crab. Most crabs kept as pets are land crabs, which have adapted to living... More Hermit Crab Adaptations Posted on April 16, 2010Unlike most other crustaceans, adult hermit crabs live their lives on land, rather than in the ocean. This fact has led to a variety adaptations making the crab ideally suited to its open-air environment. First, their gills have developed over time so that they can breathe in moist air.

They are named after Dungeness, Washington, which is located near Port Angeles, WA, in the Puget Sound area.

However, they average under 8 inches in diameter across the shell. Though they have much smaller legs than the Alaskan King Crab or the Alaskan Snow Crab, they do have much bigger shell size and do contain a lot of meat. Dungeness can weigh on an average of 2-4 pounds, with 25 percent of that weight being meat. This makes the Dungeness species of crab a major domestic species.

It seems like a long time, but don't worry, it's normal. Most hermit crabs will take around a month and a half. Other then that it depends on size. However, every individual crab is different. Remember that. Young hermits will take about five days- three weeks, and may do it quite often. Older hermit crabs will do it less, but it might take three weeks-two months.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 11:21© 2002 Jonathan Bird For Educational Purposes only The largest phylum of creatures on Earth without a doubt is Arthropoda, both in terms of number of species and in total number of individuals. There are nearly 1 million species of Arthropods, with over 90% of them being insects. Of the remaining less than 10%, or about 85,000 species, there are only three major marine groups. The most well known is that of the mostly marine sub-phylum Crustacea (>30,000 species), the entirely marine class Pycnogonida, also called the \"\"sea spiders\"\" (500 species) and the entirely marine class Merostomata, commonly called the horseshoe crabs (5 species). All Arthropods share certain characteristics making them unique from other phyla. Most obvious is the external skeleton (technically, not really a shell). Not only does this exoskeleton protect the animal like a suit of armor, but it actually does serve as the animal's skeleton. The muscles of an Arthropod are connected to the inside of the exoskeleton, because the animal lacks an internal skeleton of any type. The exoskeleton is made of a tough substance called chitin (KIE-tin)."

The arthropods , animals that have taken over almost all of the environments of the earth, could easily be given the top spot on the success pile. One piece of supporting evidence you might run across is that there are more species of arthropods than of all of the other multicelled animals combined, but that is only true for the described species, and more hobbyists have added to that list for insects (which are arthropods) than for any other group. No one knows how many species of roundworms there are, in contrast, because only a tiny group of researchers even care. Probably the most important feature of the arthropods in their exoskeleton, a complex rigid outside covering that gives the muscles something to pull against. Unlike a simple shell such as those of mollusks, an exoskeleton has many flexible joints, allowing a wide range of movement. Skeletons in our group are the \"\"opposite\"\" kind, endoskeletons. There are advantages and disadvantages to the two skeletal systems: EXOSKELETONSENDOSKELETONSMore protective, covering the muscles and other soft tissues. Less protective, usually being under the muscles and soft tissues. Produces better leverage for the pull of muscles."

Generally speaking, a bushel of number 1 or \"\"Jimmy\"\" crabs will hold 60 - 70 crabs depending on how big the crabs are at that time of year. If there are 60 - 70 crabs, they will feed about 10 - 12 people depending upon what else is on the menu. If you have all kinds of food, such as salads, hot dogs, chicken, etc., you'll probably need half as many crabs. If you serve only steamed crabs, clams, corn and beverages, you'll need the whole bushel.back to top Q. Why Can't I Store Cooked Maryland Blue Crabs In The Same Basket They Came In When I Purchased Them? A. Live Maryland blue crabs, like most other animals, contain bacteria which can be transmitted easily. Crabs that have been properly cooked will be, for all practical purposes, bacteria free since the bacteria will have been killed during the cooking process. Therefore, the cooked crab is ready to eat directly from the shell; if cooked crabs come in contact with uncooked crabs, cross-contamination could occur.back to top Q. Can I Freeze Steamed Maryland Blue Crabs? A. The Seafood Marketing Program does not recommend freezing steamed crabs because of the potential for bacterial growth."

A: Quick Answer Although hermit crabs must keep their gills moist in order to be able to breathe, they cannot breathe underwater. In fact, they will die if they are submerged in water because their gills will not provide the oxygen they need to survive. This is why it is recommended that owners keep a piece of sponge in their water dish, so they have something to hold onto and will not drown. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do Crabs Breathe? What Do Saltwater Hermit Crabs Eat? What Do Pet Hermit Crabs Eat? Full Answer Hermit crabs have tiny gills that are located at the top of their legs.

There appears to be a general consensus among watermen and some scientists that a full moon (and, to a lesser extent, a new moon) does indeed play a role in a crab's molting cycle, but this is based purely on anecdotal evidence. \"\" While I do not have hard data to support the contention that there is increased shedding on or around a full moon, from personal observations of the commercial soft crab production industry, there is an increase in peelers and soft crabs several days before and after a full moon\"\" says Mike Oesterling of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. There are several possible explanations for this phenomenon. One explanation might be that during a full (and new moon) the tides are unusually high or low (called \"\"spring\"\" tides). This is because twice a month the moon and sun are in line with the Earth and therefore, their combined gravitational pull is greater. During a spring tide, more shoreline grasses are submerged (or exposed) which would provide a larger area of cover and protection for crabs to molt. Or, perhaps it's because crabs are able to exploit expanding feeding grounds or have more time for feeding in the shallows. Mr. Oesterling notes that \"\"in the summer months, food availability has a major effect on shedding activity."

"text": "What is does the camshaft position sensor do?? The camshaft position sensor monitors the rotation of the camshaft, specifically targeting when valves open and close. Most camshaft sensors are mounted just above a notched ring on the camshaft. Most of these camshaft sensors will use a magnet to produce or vary an AC electronic signal that is used in conjunction with a crankshaft position sensor to determine when a position approaches top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. This information will help to fine tune spark timing and injector pulse. What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor? A car that does not run. The engine will crank but not turn over, or it will start then immediately stall. Many times when the on board computer receives an erratic signal, internal logic will understand this as a mechanical problem, and it will shut down the engine to prevent any damage. Ironically, the very same sensor may send out no signal, or be unplugged, and the engine will run, albeit poorly."

"text": "Home Buying Guides Car & Truck Parts Engines & Components Crankshafts & Parts How to Test a Crankshaft Position Sensore Bay 4 Likes Like March 13, 2016Since the late 1970s, vehicle manufacturers face mandates to reduce the amount of emissions released into the atmosphere from vehicles they produce. Initial attempts at meeting these guidelines resulted in engineering designs that robbed performance and economy to satisfy the demand for cleaner-running engines. With advancements in automotive technology, modern day vehicles run cleaner, provide better fuel economy, and deliver greater performance from smaller engines. A vital part of the operation of modern internal combustion engines is the crankshaft position sensor. You can benefit from understanding the role of this important engine component and how to determine if it has failed. The Function of a Crankshaft Position Sensor For your engine to run properly, the computer that controls the pulse of fuel injectors and the firing of spark plugs needs to know when the piston of each cylinder is in the proper position to have those events occur. Because the spinning of the engine's crankshaft controls the movement of pistons up and down within the cylinder block, there is no better way to determine piston position than to take a reading from the crankshaft as it rotates. The crankshaft position sensor is the device that provides that input to your car's computer control module. There are two types of crankshaft position sensors: a two-wire design and a three-wire design. Tools Required to Test a Crankshaft Position Sensor If you have access to an automotive scan tool, you can access codes from the vehicle's computer control module that help you to diagnose a faulty crankshaft position sensor."

"text": "Motor oil leaks will hurt your engine A car engine uses motor oil to lubricate the internal moving parts of the engine such as crankshaft, rod bearings, pistons and valve train. This oil is controlled from leaking out of main engine parts by using a series of covers, gaskets and seals. There are two kinds of oil leaks, pressurized and non-pressurized. Non-pressurized leaks tend to be less aggressive while pressurized leaks can be extreme. If an oil leak is not obvious clean the engine with a strong detergent. Then run the engine for a short time and recheck the engine using a flashlight. When inspecting for oil leaks start at the top of the engine and work down as oil will travel downward before collecting into a drip at the bottom of the engine. What Goes Wrong? As the engine ages its gasket and seals will become hard and crack due to heat. This will allow oil to leak out and onto the ground or onto the exhaust system where it is burned creating smoke from under the hood."

An engine that stalls can present a real diagnostic challenge since a stalling engine can occur at many different loads such as; idle, light load, moderate load, and heavy load. Each of these load conditions can cause challenges when diagnosing the engine. However, in all of these conditions, if the engine stalls a failure has occurred.

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles. Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. The reason for a code P0306 being stored in your OBD II vehicle is that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an individual cylinder misfire. A P0306 specifically applies to the number six cylinder. Consult a reliable vehicle information source for the location of the number six cylinder for the vehicle in question. This type of code may be caused by a fuel delivery problem, a large vacuum leak, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) malfunction, or mechanical engine failure, but is most often the result of an ignition system defect resulting in a low or no spark condition. Virtually all OBD II equipped vehicles use a distributor-less, coil-over-plug (COP), high-intensity spark, ignition system. It is controlled by the PCM to effect precise ignition spark and timing. The PCM calculates input signals from the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, and throttle position sensor (among others depending upon the vehicle) to configure an ignition spark timing strategy."

It monitors the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft and sends the information to the engine control unit so it can make appropriate adjustments based on operating conditions. The crankshaft speed and position are some of the most important parameters used in engine management calculations, and many engines cannot run if the crankshaft position sensor is not providing an accurate signal. Usually a problematic crankshaft position sensor will produce a few symptoms that alert the driver of a potential problem that should be serviced.1. Issues starting the vehicle The most common symptom associated with a bad or failing crankshaft position sensor is difficulty starting the vehicle. The crankshaft position sensor monitors the position and speed of the crankshaft and other parameters that play an important role when starting the engine. If the crankshaft position sensor is having a problem, the vehicle may have intermittent starting issues or may not start at all.2. Intermittent stalling Another symptom commonly associated with a problematic crankshaft position sensor is intermittent stalling. If the crankshaft position sensor or its wiring have any issues, it can cause the crankshaft signal to be cut off while the engine is running, which can cause the engine to stall. This is usually a symptom of a wiring problem, however a bad crankshaft position sensor can also produce this symptom.3."

The device is basically a metal disk that has a serrated (toothed) circumference. In addition, there's a stationary device containing a magnetic coil, which acts as a standard for the measurement. When the crankshaft spins, induction current is set up around the magnetic coil. The serrated edge of the crankshaft obstructs the produced magnetic field and this is recorded. This is what gives a measurement of the amount of current produced, which is outputted as the speed of the vehicle's engine. The engine speed sensor becomes an important device because it provides a real value for the engine's speed. Since every car has its own specific speed limit, this device is put into use when checking the overall performance of the car. Problems with an Engine Speed Sensor If your vehicle has a faulty engine speed sensor, you will generally experience a problem with the air to fuel ratio and close associations with the coolant sensor."

The trick, of course, if you have never established any type of credit, is to learn how to go from “no credit” to “good credit” in the shortest amount of time possible. How long does it take to build credit? Establishing a good credit history doesn’t happen overnight, of course. But with the right strategy, you can certainly expedite the process. You Don’t Start from Absolute Zero A common credit myth is that your credit scores begin at zero. However, FICO scoring models and the current Vantage Score model are scaled on a range from 300 to 850. There is no such thing as a credit score of zero, despite what some financial celebrities love to suggest. All credit scores are generated based upon the same information, and that is the data contained in your credit reports. If your credit reports are still completely empty, then no scoring model will be able to generate a credit score for you."

Both Amazon and Git Hub don’t require you to select a credit card type in their form. As you fill in the credit card number, the user interface changes to show the type of credit card being used. Amazon waits until the entire credit card number is entered and then displays an icon representing the credit card type. Amazon’s Credit Card Detection Git Hub updates the interface a bit faster, waiting until it has enough information to figure out the credit card type. Initially, there are several credit card icons showing. Once the actual credit card type is determined, all of the icons fade except the one representing the credit card type.

Many people finding themselves subject to debt collection may already be experiencing a broad range of financial and personal difficulties. Debt collection is an added indignity. Although debtors are bound to honor their contracts (with a few exceptions for bankruptcies), they should not find themselves subject to harassing and deceptive collection practices. Overzealous and occasionally unscrupulous debt collectors have given the field of debt collection a history of abusive practices. Some of the more common abuses include: Repeated phone calls late at night or early in the morning Abusive or threatening language Contacting friends, neighbors or employers about a debt Using deception to obtain information about a consumer (such as pretending to do a telephone survey)Using deception to force payment, for example, by pretending to be a lawyer, claiming to have initiated a lawsuit, or using stationary designed to look like official court or government communication In response to such abuses, both New Hampshire and federal statutes regulate and control the time, manner, and substance of collection procedures, and provide consumers with remedies against abusive collection activities. The Law Debt collection practices are governed by two laws: New Hampshire's Unfair, Deceptive or Unreasonable Collection Practices Act (RSA 358-C) (State Act) and the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (15 U. S. C. § 1692-1695) (FDCPA). In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidelines for the collection industry describing specific acts and practices the FTC considers to be in violation of the FDCPA. Type of Debts Covered Both the State Act and FDCPA cover debt collection activities against consumers arising out of \"\"consumer debts\"\" incurred primarily for personal, family or household purposes. This covers nearly the whole range of personal transactions for which a consumer may incur debt, including retail financing, credit card purchases, auto loans, and first and second mortgages."

"text": "One of the best things you can do to help ensure your best possible shot at getting the home you want is getting a pre-approved mortgage loan. Mortgage pre-approval is basically a promise from the lender that you’re qualified to borrow up to a certain amount of money at a specific interest rate, subject to a property appraisal and other requirements. With this meaningful promise, you’ll be likely to get the home you deserve due to your trustworthiness. In the mortgage pre-approval process, the lender looks closely at your credit and verifies your income (unlike mortgage pre-qualification, for which your information is not verified). If you’re granted a pre-approved mortgage loan, the lender gives you a pre-approval letter, which says your loan will be approved once you make a purchase offer on a home and submit the following documents: the purchase contract, preliminary title information, appraisal and your income and asset documentation. Keep in mind, though, that pre-approval does not completely guarantee your loan will be approved and is generally only valid for 60-90 days (this timeline varies and can be verified by your lender). What Does ‘Pre-Approval’ Mean? Pre-approval means the lender is confident you have the ability to make the necessary down payment and an income that can sufficiently cover mortgage payments. At this stage, only one concern remains: The lender needs to make certain the property’s value offers sufficient collateral in relation to the loan amount. In other words, the home must be appraised for an amount more than or equal to the purchase price."

Over the last sixty years, China has refused to pay to these bondholders either the principal or interest on these full faith and credit sovereign bonds. China argues that because these bonds were issued by a former administration or regime, the Republic of China, today's China should not have to honor them.

"text": "A criminal psychologist is a professional who studies the personality of convicted criminals or people undergoing prosecution, sometimes with the aim of rehabilitating them but often also as a way to help courts and law enforcement personnel understand criminal tendencies and influences. It's often the case that these experts work with suspects, and in these cases the analysis is sometimes ordered by a court — often when there is a question as to whether the suspect has diminished mental ability or some other hindrance that could make him or her incompetent to stand trial. No matter their specialty, people with this sort of training typically work directly with the accused, and often have a therapist-patient relationship with them. The psychologist will usually spend a lot of time observing and analyzing criminal actions, thoughts, reactions, and intentions. The field is quite broad and people can do a lot with this sort of training. Ad Understanding the Field Generally The field of psychology is a big one, and the options for those with an interest in criminal minds and tendencies is similarly wide-reaching. The most basic way to think about this sort of work is as a scientific approach to understanding why people turn to crime, and what things in either society or the home can either promote or discourage this tendency. People with criminal psychology training usually start out studying psychology generally, which can be described as the way the human mind works and allows people to function in complex sociological scenarios. From here, professionals can focus their attention on those who have committed crimes. The goal is usually to understand not only why people break the law, but also what, if any, difference exists in the brains of criminals versus the brains of normal, law-abiding people."

"text": "Overview The global criminal justice industry is quite vast with a number of options for interested parties to explore further. Two such fields are forensic psychology and criminology which are directly related to criminal justice. Though stemming from the same broad industry, the two disciplines are actually quite dis-similar. For starters, forensic psychology is a union between the justice system and the field of psychology. Here, the teachings and principles of psychology are applied to the justice system with the intent of creating a more robust and fool proof justice delivery system. More specifically, forensic psychologists use their expert judgment and analysis to determine if a defendant is competent or mentally fit to stand trial or not. Forensic psychologists also try to determine whether the defendant was mentally stable or insane at the time the crime was committed by them or not. Criminology, on the other hand is the study of criminal behavior at the micro and macro levels, i.e. individual and social levels. Using scientific methods and tools, criminologists study the crime, the behavior of the criminal as well as the victims of the crime. The purpose of criminologists is to understand why crimes take place, the impact they have and leave behind and how to prevent those crimes from happening again in the future."

"text": "What is a Prison Psychologist? If the idea of working with a criminal population excites you, a career as a prison psychologist might be for you. Prison psychologists play incredibly important roles within society. They are crucial parts of the rehabilitation of both common criminals, and the gravely criminally insane. Prison psychologists are often charged with the task of treating murderers, violent offenders, sexual predators, and white collar criminals. They often work in maximum security prisons, jailhouses (for assessment purposes), courthouses, and asylums geared towards the criminally insane. Prison psychologists often testify as expert witnesses inside courtrooms. Additionally, they are involved in stabilizing those found incompetent to stand trial. Prison psychologists get to experience both the best and worst of human nature. They regularly listen to stories of untold violence, abuse, and drug addiction- and work to change these cycles within people’s lives."

"text": "The Basics The American Board of Forensic Psychology defines forensic psychology as “the application of the science and profession of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system.” Forensic psychologists work with a team of lawyers, judges, and police where scientific knowledge and expertise are needed. A forensic psychologist might be called upon to evaluate an individual whose mental status has been called into question to determine whether that individual were competent to testify in a court of law. He or she might be asked to examine a child to determine whether the child understood a lie from the truth or understood right from wrong. Forensic psychologists can work with victims of crime to help them through deal with their trauma and help to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The more glamorous role forensic psychologists play on television and movies, solving crimes and finding criminals with psychology, is much less common in real life. How Do Forensic Psychologists Help Police? Police departments often employ forensic psychologists to help them better understand the psychological underpinnings of criminal behavior. Forensic psychologists might help police by conducting research into criminality. The research of forensic psychologists is generally used by police to improve their ability to predict criminal behavior and devise strategies for effectively addressing crime."

As professionals state, this is why criminal psychology is so interesting and why they enjoy their work so much. The term “criminal psychology” has been defined in a numerous ways. Even today it has no accepted definition. It can be defined as a science, which helps investigative institutions in fulfilling their mission more effectively by applying a psychological knowledge to it. In this field psychologists mainly focus on offenders. They can engage in a number of activities related to investigation, ranging from profile creation process to conduction of psychological testing of people for courts/trials for various crimes.

Experts believe that the prevalence rate of sociopathy may be higher than you think— around 1-4 percent of the total adult population, with more men than women being affected. Roughly one in 25 Americans is considered to be a sociopath, according to Harvard psychologist Dr. Martha Stout, author of The Sociopath Next Door.

Pope Abstract: Sex between therapists and clients has emerged as a significant phenomenon, one that the profession has not adequately acknowledged or addressed. Extensive research has led to recognition of the extensive harm that therapist-client sex can produce. Nevertheless, research suggests that perpetrators account for about 4.4% of therapists (7% of male therapists; 1.5% of female therapists) when data from national studies are pooled. This chapter looks at the history of this problem, the harm it can cause, gender patterns, the possibility that the rate of therapists sexually abusing their clients is declining, and the mental health professions' urgent, unfinished business in this area.

"text": "Other ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARYClinical and Conceptual Problems in the Attribution of Malingering in Forensic Evaluations Sanford L. Drob, Kevin B. Meehan and Shari E. Waxman Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online March 2009, 37 (1) 98-106;Article Info & Metrics PDFAbstract The authors review clinical and conceptual errors that contribute to false attributions of malingering in forensic evaluations. Unlike the mental disorders, malingering is not defined by a set of (relatively) enduring symptoms or traits; rather, it is an intentional, externally motivated, and context-specific form of behavior. Despite this general knowledge, attributions of malingering are often made by using assessment tools that may detect feigning but cannot be relied upon to determine incentive and volition or consciousness (defining characteristics of malingering). In addition, forensic evaluators may overlook the possibility that feigning is a function of true pathology, as in Ganser syndrome or the factitious disorders, or that a seemingly malingered presentation is due to symptoms of an underlying disorder, such as dissociative identity disorder (DID). Other factors that set the stage for false positives, such as pressure on forensic specialists to identify malingering at all costs, failure to consider the base rate problem, and cultural variables, are also reviewed. The assessment of malingering in a forensic context is beset by a variety of clinical and conceptual difficulties that are often overlooked by forensic specialists who are called upon to make such determinations. These difficulties include problems associated with conceptualizing malingering as a psychiatric diagnosis, problems in evaluating truthfulness in general, the inadequacy of methods designed for evaluation of personality traits in assessing a volitional behavior that is highly state and context dependent, complexities introduced by such syndromes as the factitious disorders and the Ganser syndrome, problems in establishing base rates for malingering in different clinical/forensic settings, ethics-related problems associated with rates of misclassification, and problems arising from clinician and interactional variables that affect the forensic psychological assessment. Because forensic specialists often fail to recognize these and other complexities in the assessment of malingering, such assessments are often inadequate and impressionistic and in rare cases amount to little more than a reflection of the clinician's negative countertransference and/or negative moral evaluation of the individual being assessed. In a previous publication, 1 we have discussed the complexities associated with distinguishing malingering from various pseudodementing and pseudopsychotic conditions, including Ganser syndrome and related hysterical and dissociative states. Our experience on a busy metropolitan forensic psychiatry service was that individuals undergoing forensic examinations were often said to be malingering by clinicians who not only failed to consider the possibility of factitious disorders and Ganser syndrome, but who were also unaware of the complex conceptual questions that underlie the malingering attribution."

Their understanding and explanations of certain aspects of psychological health can help move along court cases, inform juries, determine the reasons behind crimes being committed, and otherwise play an integral role in the system. Forensic Psychologist Careers In-Depth Forensic psychologists provide advice to trial counsel, evaluate litigating parties and witnesses on behalf of judges or attorneys, and conduct research, such as figuring out why juries vote a particular way or why eyewitness testimony can be unreliable. A forensic psychologist might serve as an expert witness to explain a complex psychological concept to the jury, provide consulting advice to an attorney about a person’s state of mind or evaluate a defendant to determine whether they are competent to stand trial. Beyond the court system, forensic psychologists are often employed in jails and prisons, providing rehabilitative treatment and education to inmates in preparation for their release and return to the outside world. Forensic psychology professionals are also sometimes hired by police departments as consultants and profilers during criminal investigations. Finally, forensic psychologists conduct research on criminal behavior and the development of effective clinical treatments.

Though friends and family swear he is a reformed man, Dixon is unlikely to win parole because a test has determined he is a psychopath. Lianne Milton for NPRIn November 2009, Robert Dixon took a test to determine whether he was a psychopath. After 26 years in prison, he was due for a parole hearing. In California, before a \"\"lifer\"\" like Dixon appears before the parole board, a state psychologist must first evaluate whether he poses a risk of further violence if released. To do that, the psychologist administers a test — the PCL-R, or Psychopathy Checklist-Revised — designed to measure whether that inmate is a psychopath. This test has incredible power in the American criminal justice system. It's used to make decisions such as what kind of sentence a criminal gets and whether an inmate is released on parole. It has even been used to help decide whether someone should be put to death. Many psychologists believe that psychopaths are so devoid of normal human emotion, so cold and remorseless and impulsive, that they are bound, almost by their very nature, to do harm and violence.

Wikipedia says: The theory of biorhythms claims that one's life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles, and seeks to make predictions regarding these cycles and the personal ease of carrying out tasks related to the cycles. These inherent rhythms are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behaviour and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (or mental) cycles. Others claim there are additional rhythms, some of which may be combinations of the three primary cycles. Some proponents think that biorhythms may be potentially related to bioelectricity and its interactions in the body. In theory, then, it's a way to \"\"chart your natural ups and downs\"\". Traditionally the Primary Biorhythms are these three: Physical: A cycle of 23 days. Emotional: A cycle of 28 days. Intellectual: A cycle of 33 days. Discovered later, these additional cycles are considered \"\"Secondary Biorhythms\"\" by some, \"\"Extra Biorhythms\"\" by others.

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONThis document provides a brief background of what biorhythm cycles are, how and when they were discovered, and how they can be put to use. There are a number of books on the subject. Nearly all of the information in this description is from the book \"\"Biorhythms: Is This Your Day? \"\", by George S. Thommen. Very briefly, biorhythm cycles consist of three natural human cycles; the physical, the emotional (or sensitivity), and the intellectual. Each cycle has a unique period and therefore the interaction of these cycles constantly varies. The physical cycle lasts 23 days, the emotional cycles 28 days, and the intellectual 33 days. They all start at the zero value on the day of birth and begin the positive part of the cycle. Half way through the cycle they again cross zero and move into the negative part of the cycle. This cyclic nature is analogous to a wave pattern."

Visit the Mercola Video Library Story at-a-glance According to a new JAMA study, vitamin D supplements appear to be useless for reducing the number or severity of colds or upper respiratory tract infections Participants receiving once-monthly mega doses of 200,000 IU’s of vitamin D3 for two months, followed by 16 once-monthly doses of 100,000 IU’s experienced only a 10 percent reduction in colds and upper respiratory infections during the study period compared to the control group The disappointing results may be explained by the fact that the control group had higher than normal vitamin D levels attributed to sun exposure. Numerous other studies have confirmed vitamin D’s ability to reduce colds and URI’s, but the control group is typically severely deficient in most studies One massive dose once a month is unlikely to help you maintain robust immune protection long-term. Additionally, mounting evidence now suggests that elevating your vitamin D level with an oral supplement is unlikely to provide you with the identical health benefits as getting your vitamin D from sun exposure By Dr. Mercola For the last ten years, I've regularly reported on the benefits of vitamin D, especially for combating colds and flu. But according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), vitamin D supplements appear to be useless for reducing the number or severity of colds or upper respiratory infections. The randomized controlled trial – led by Dr. David R. Murdock of the University of Otago in New Zealand – included 322 healthy adults. Half of the participants received 200,000 IU's of oral vitamin D3 at the outset of the study, followed by another mega-dose of 200,000 IU's a month later. For the next 16 months, the vitamin D group received once-monthly mega-doses of 100,000 IU's of vitamin D. The control group received a placebo throughout. At the beginning of the study, the average vitamin D level for the treatment group was 29 ng/ml, which is still far below an optimal range."

Statistics show that such disturbance is diagnosed only in 1.5% of cases with brain diseases. A cyst is a thick formation, which may eventually grow in size. However, this disease is rarely lead to dangerous complications and in most cases does not require any specific treatment. What is the pineal gland The pineal gland or epiphysis, represents only a small part of the brain. Unfortunately, to date, the function of this area is not yet fully understood. Nonetheless, it is proven that it is synthesized melatonin, which affects the hypothalamo-pituitary system. In addition, the secret of this gland is responsible for the synchronization of biorhythms of the human body, for example, normalizes sleep and wakefulness. In addition, secreted by the pineal gland substances can inhibit the synthesis of growth hormones, slow the growth and development of tumors. It is believed that this part of the brain has a direct impact on the processes of puberty, and is responsible for the normal operation of the immune system."

Several Caribbean Islands (including Cuba) will also set their clocks forward. Many countries in Europe will set their clocks forward on March 29. Several countries in the Middle East also observe daylight savings, though most of them do so on different days of the week. How can we expect peace in the region when they can’t coordinate time change? And so starts weeks of international business chaos; when no one can remember what time zone each country is on. The poorly coordinated time changes are projected to cost the airline industry $147 million a year in travel disruptions alone. Not to mention an uncountable number of missed connections and minutes of forgone productivity wondering what time it is in Paris and Tehran. This is madness and it must stop. As we set our clocks forward this Sunday (or two weeks from Sunday, or two weeks from Friday or Saturday or not at all), I repeat my Modest Proposal: let’s end seasonal time changes and, while we are at it, reorganize time zones entirely."

Because it is a common factor in many areas of the body it has a wide diversity of effects. These include benefits for depression, stroke, neuronal protection and the enhancement of the action of the mitochondria. Many of the theories of aging center on the reduction in efficiency of the mitochondria; ALC’s ability to support their function and prevent their decline is an obvious “anti-aging” benefit. ALC also increases brain cell metabolism and has been shown to improve memory, reaction time, and other cognitive functions. Dosage: 500 – 2000 mg daily. DHEADehydroepiandrosterone (pronounced dee-hi-dro-ep-i-an-dro-stair-own) or abbreviated to DHEA, is a steroid hormone produced naturally by the adrenal gland, and is the most abundant steroid found in the human blood stream. Research indicates that DHEA has significant anti obesity, anti cancer, cognitive enhancement and anti aging effects. DHEA levels naturally decline as we get older, and there is strong reason to think that DHEA supplements may extend life span and make us more youthful.

"text": "\"Home > Education > Theory > History of Acupuncture The History of Acupuncture By Jon Fishman The Chinese healing art of acupuncture is one that can be dated back at least two thousand years. Some authorities maintain that acupuncture has been practiced in China for even four thousand years. Though its exact age is vague, what is certain is that up until the recent twentieth century, much of the population of the world was uninformed about acupuncture, its origins, and its capacity to promote and maintain good health. Even today in relatively \"\"advanced\"\" nations such as the United States there are many who hold acupuncture under the stereotype of a new or radical medicine, one which would almost always be a second choice after more familiar Western approaches to handling illness. Following a brief synopsis of the theory of acupuncture, the following text will, to a limited extent, elucidate the vast history of this ancient medicine and assert that it is neither new nor radical. THEORYOne of the most important concepts of Chinese medicine is that of natural balance. From this idea of balance arises the fundamental theory of yin and yang. According to this theory, life takes place in the alternating rhythm of yin and yang. Day gives way to night, night to day; a time of light and activity (Yang) is followed by darkness and rest (Yin). Flowers open and close, the moon waxes and wanes, the tides come in and go out; we wake and sleep, breathe in, breathe out."

People have used astrology, tarot cards and tea leaves to try to tell fortunes or predict events. Another way, called biorhythms, was popular in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The biorhythms idea says that various aspects and events (births, deaths, etc.) in a person's life follow cycles based on mathematical equations.

Baby crow Dream Explanation — (Fledgling; Nestling) A fledgling crow in a dream represents poverty, need, separation from one's parents and segregation from one's relatives or clan. If one is experiencing such adverse conditions in wakefulness, then seeing a fledgling crow in a dream means satisfaction of one's needs and reunion with his family. When the egg hatches and the baby crow comes out of it, the parents shy away from their fledgling and remain distant from the nest. Then Allah Almighty will provide the nestling crow with various types of flies to eat from. Once the baby crow's feathers grow, the parents will return to their nest and care for their baby until it commences to fly. A Newborn Baby Boy Dream Explanation — (Baby) It suggests grief and harships for the one to whome a boy is born.

Answer by Smatiesno1 Confidence votes 213Throughout many cultures, the symbolic meaning of owl deals with: intelligence brilliance perspective intuition quick-wit independence wisdom protection mystery power Native American tribes (primarily plains' Indians) viewed the owl as a protector against harm and their feathers were ritually worn to ward of evil spirits. Ancient Athenians made the owl an emblem of wisdom and even emblazed the image of the owl on their coinage. To the ancient Greeks, the owl is a symbol of Athene who is goddess of foresight & knowledge. Taking symbolism from the owl directly, it is noteworthy that it is a creature of the night. Nocturnal creatures are symbolic of inner-knowing, psychic ability, and intuition - so too is the owl. If an owl has visited you, an incredible gift has been bestowed. Also, keep in mind that animals are only called to those who share the same energy. In other words, you hold within you some of the very same symbolic attributes the owl represents."

Crows are sometimes considered to symbolize an omen. They can be good or bad depending on the context they are being used in and what culture is talking about them. Since they are in the same family as the raven they are often associated with death and darkness. Another Perspective Crow is seen by some Native Americans as the left-handed guardian and keeper of the sacred law. While others interpret it as ancient wisdom, and magic. In a tea cup crow is read as ill health. As a child I learned an old English rhyme about crows from my grandmother, it went something like this: One is for bad news, two is for mirth."

And magically speaking, Raven is your totem. Genus Raven (Corvus corax), also known as the Common Raven or the Northern Raven, is the largest bird in the family CORVIDAE or CORVINI. Raven's closest relatives in the subspecies CORVUS include the crows, jackdaws, and rooks. More distant Corvid cousins are Choughs, Treepies, Nutcrackers, Magpies and Jays. There are many species of ravens around the world - Australian Raven (Corvus coronoides), Little Raven (Corvus mellori), Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus), New England Raven (Corvus (t). boreus), Chihuahuan Raven (Corvus cryptoleucus), Dwarf Raven (Corvus (r). edithae), Brown-necked Raven (Corvus ruficollis), White-necked Raven (Corvus albicollis), and Thick-billed Raven (Corvus crassirostris)Habitat Most of us are familiar with the Common, or Northern Raven.

The genus includes species commonly known as crows, ravens, rooks and jackdaws; there is no consistent distinction between \"\"crows\"\" and \"\"ravens\"\", and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller than ravens. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon -sized jackdaws ( Eurasian and Daurian) to the common raven of the Holarctic region and thick-billed raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 45 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except South America, and several islands. The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the family Corvidae. The members appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a 'flock' or a 'murder'. [ 1] The genus name is Latin for \"\"raven\"\".

A bad bird The crow is seen as a negative omen only recently and mostly in Europe. For the Celts, the crow was sacred and meant the flesh torn by fighting. As he eats carrion, the welsh poetry uses the metaphor \"\"the crow pierced you\"\" to say \"\"you have died\"\". They thought crows escorted the sun during his nocturnal path, that is to say in Hell. So they were a symbol of evil, contrary to swanns, symbolizing purity. In Babylon, the crow was the name of the 13th month of the calendar, and he had a very negative value. For the Greeks, the crow was too gossipy. That's why Athena replaced him with the owl, to stay with her."

Unless you are in the medical field and studied rheumatic diseases, you probably have never heard of some of the blood tests associated with diagnosing, and managing lupus. Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Complex regional pain syndrome Synonyms Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), causalgia, reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND)Complex regional pain syndrome Specialty Neurology Complex regional pain syndrome ( CRPS ), also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy ( RSD ), is a disorder of a portion of the body, usually the arms or legs, which manifests as pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and changes to the skin and bones. It may initially affect one limb and then spread throughout the body; 35% of affected people report symptoms throughout their whole bodies. [ 1] There are multiple names for this disease, as well as two subtypes. Type I (also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy) refers to CRPS without evidence of a specific peripheral nerve injury. Type II refers to when there is specific evidence of a nerve injury. [ 2]The cause of CRPS is unknown. This typically occurs after an injury to the area in question such as a fracture or after surgery. [ 3] It is proposed that inflammation and alteration of pain perception in the central nervous system play important roles. It has been suggested that persistent pain and the perception of non-painful stimuli as painful may be caused by inflammatory molecules (IL-1, IL2, TNF-alpha) and neuropeptides (substance P) released from peripheral nerves. This release may be caused by inappropriate cross talk between sensory and motor fibers at the effected site. ["

"text": "\"Arthritis Diagnosis What Does the CRP Test Reveal About Arthritis? C-Reactive Protein Test Is Ordered When Arthritis Is Suspected By Carol Eustice | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated February 12, 2018Share Pin Email Print Tetra Images/Getty Images The CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test is a blood test that measures the concentration of a special type of protein produced in the liver. The protein is present during episodes of acute inflammation or infection. In the body, CRP interacts with the complement system, an immunologic defense mechanism. An elevated CRP test result is an indication of acute inflammation. In cases of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, doctors can utilize the CRP test to assess the effectiveness of a specific arthritis treatment and monitor periods of disease flare-up. Its value is as a general indicator, though, not specific. By \"\"not specific\"\", it is meant that the CRP test does not reveal what is causing inflammation in the body. It simply indicates that there is inflammation. With inflammatory disease, a low CRP level is possible."

It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells. Its physiological role is to bind to lysophosphatidylcholine expressed on the surface of dead or dying cells (and some types of bacteria) in order to activate the complement system via C1q. [ 5]CRP is synthesized by the liver [6] in response to factors released by macrophages and fat cells ( adipocytes ). [ 7] It is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins.

"text": "\"What's the Usefulness of CRP Testing? Measuring C-reactive protein in the blood may -- or may not -- indicate that a person is at risk for heart disease. By Christina Frank From the Web MD Archives By now, most of us are well- versed in the rules for keeping heart disease at bay: eat healthily, exercise, don't smoke or gain too much weight, and keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels under control. And familiarity with terms like HDL and LDL cholesterol is so common as to make for standard cocktail party chitchat. But there's a lesser-known, relatively new player in heart -disease risk assessment called CRP, or C-reactive protein. A study in the January 2004 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine suggested that elevated levels of CRP could provide doctors with information that could ultimately prevent thousands of deaths from heart disease. But many reports have said that knowing CRP levels provides no clinical benefit whatsoever, making the whole subject a source of controversy. The blood test for CRP indicates inflammation, which studies have shown to be critical in the development of atherosclerosis, or plaque build-up in the blood vessel walls. According to the American Heart Association and the CDC, a CRP level of less than 1 mg per liter indicates a low risk of cardiovascular disease; 1-3 mg/L indicates moderate risk, and greater than 3 mg/L equals high risk.

What is a C-Reactive Protein Blood Test? C-reactive protein, or CRP, is a protein produced by the liver that serves as a marker for inflammation. CRP levels rise when there is active inflammation somewhere in the body, but it doesn't indicate where or what's causing it. An elevated CRP level can come from an infection or a disease that causes inflammation such as certain types of arthritis, autoimmune diseases, tuberculosis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, among others. Generally, doctors order this test when they suspect one of these conditions. There are other situations where a doctor might order a C-reactive protein test."

As noted in a recent issue of the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, the information had to be carefully selected and organized. * One of the major reasons why physicians do not follow clinical practice guidelines is that most are not concise enough for both physicians and patients to read, understand and follow. Guidelines need to be presented in a concise manner saying in effect, \"\"These measures are recognized as essential, these others should be considered, and this group has been found ineffective or contraindicated.\"\" The most notable addition to third edition is a new section titled \"\"RSD in Children.\"\""

Your doctor might check your C-reactive protein level for infections or for other medical conditions. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, which is more sensitive than a standard test, also can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack. A simple blood test measures C-reactive protein. Why it's done Your doctor might order a CRP test to check for inflammation, which can indicate infection or a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, as well as risk of heart disease. CRP tests for heart disease It's thought that a high level of hs-CRP in your blood is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. A CRP test doesn't indicate the cause of inflammation, though, so it's possible that a high hs-CRP level could mean there's inflammation caused by something besides your heart. The American Heart Association doesn't recommend an hs-CRP test for everyone. Rather, the test is most useful for people who have a 5 to 10 percent chance of having a heart attack within the next 10 years."

In addition to cholesterol and fats, the lipid core contains white blood cells, which are the inflammatory cells in the body. If the fibrous cap breaks, these inflammatory cells are exposed to the blood stream.

CRP is made in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream within a few hours following inflammation. The level of CRP in your blood can be tested through blood screenings. High levels of CRP in your blood indicate that inflammation is present. Results A normal CRP generally falls between 1.0 and 3.0 mg/d L. If your CRP level exceeds 3.0 mg/d L, it is classified as high.

Mine states that the normal range for ESR is between 0 - 20 (might be 1 - 20 but 20 is the max.) Other sources of information simply say that every individual has their own 'normal' ESR level. I think it was Tilda who recently posted a formula for working out what the average person's ESR 'should' be - half your age + 5 or something like that. Anyway, from what I've heard on here over the past 5 months, anything over 30 or so is considered high and, for some people, the high 20s are cause for concern. Unlike you, I think I am someone whose ESR reflects how they feel (definitely not true for everyone)."

Computerized tomography (CT) scanning is useful to get a very detailed 3D image of certain parts of legs. The process begins by taking many different X-ray views at various different angles, which are then combined with the use of computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissue inside of your body, including tissues inside of solid organ. Ordinary X-ray testing does not show clear images of soft tissue, so doctors often request CT scanning to get a good image of soft tissue including organs, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and the brain. Sometimes a contrast dye is used as it shows up clearer on the screen. A quality CT scan of the leg will use multiple x-rays to make cross sectional pictures of the leg. Reasons for a Leg CT scan: CT scans are used for a multitude of reasons. They may be done to check for certain cancers in various different ways including to detect abnormal tumors, growths or lumps. They also identify the location of tumors, the stage of cancer, and where to perform a biopsy."

However, a CT scan of the brain is much less costly, and that is the type of imaging we usually do after trauma, such as a car accident. If your sister has insurance, she should go to a facility which is contracted with that insurance."

He was the last male heir in a long and powerful line of kings we today call the Tuthmosids, but he was only around eight years old. He followed on the heels of almost twenty years of social upheaval at the hands of Akhenaten, a king uniformly reviled by the pharaohs who succeeded him. Akhenaten had tried to install something akin to a henotheism or even monotheism in a culture that had been solidly polytheistic for millennia. Given that this young king, a boy called Tutankhaten, was too young to exercise real power or leadership, his powerful advisors and officials found themselves in a very convenient situation: they could use the little king to restore tradition and bring back the enormous cult of the proscribed deity Amun. And that’s exactly what they did. One of the first things these officials did was change the boy-king’s name to Tutankhamun, “Living Image of Amun,” to help establish the fact that Amun was back. They married him to an older half-sister named Ankhesenpaaten, whose name was changed to Ankhesenamun, “She Lives for Amun.” They moved the nation’s capital from Akhenaten’s purpose-built city of Akhetaten back to Waset, the traditional religious capital of pharaonic Egypt."

Today I’m going to talk about treating metastatic bone disease, bench to bedside — with more on the bedside. I will talk about how to recognize some of the lesions that patients have, as well as some of the toys that we play with when we try to help patients with these problems, from an orthopaedic surgical standpoint. The objectives are: To learn to recognize osteolytic and osteoblastic bone metastasis To understand the role of orthopaedic surgery in the treatment of patients with metastatic bone disease To understand that taking care of patients with metastatic bone disease requires a multidisciplinary team approach — working with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, etc. Metastatic bone disease has been around as long as cancer has been around."

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the TTTG on MRI compared to CT scan. Twelve knees in 11 patients underwent CT and MRI examination for patellofemoral instability or anterior knee pain. Both the bony and the cartilaginous landmarks of the trochlear groove were used for the measurement of the TTTG. The measurements were performed by two experienced musculoskeletal radiologists. The interrater, intermethod and interperiod reliability was calculated using a restricted maximum likelihood estimation and a Bland–Altman analysis. The mean TTTG referenced on bony landmarks was 14.4 ± 5.4 mm on CT scans, and 13.9 ± 4.5 mm on MR images. The mean TTTG referenced on cartilaginous landmarks was 15.3 ± 4.1 mm on CT scans, and 13.5 ± 4.6 mm on MR images. An excellent interrater (82%), intermethods (86%), and interperiod (91%) quantitative reliability was found. TTTG can be determined reliably on MRI using either cartilage or bony landmarks."

Her friends at dental school noted that she limped, and Anna was aware of becoming short of breath whenever she ran.

In many cases MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods. For an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet. Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room. In some cases, contrast material may be used during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly."

According to the American Roentgen Ray Society, computed tomography may help physicians in emergency rooms to identify the orthopaedic tear more accurately. Research shows how CT is beneficial The study, led by Katrina Glazebrook, M. D., analyzed the imaging of 27 patients' knees on axial, sagittal and oblique sagittal planes by a dual energy CT scan. Some of these patients had already been told they had torn ACLs while others did not have history of the impairment. A trained musculoskeletal radiologist and a senior radiology resident reviewed the images. The radiologist was 94 percent correct while the radiology resident was 87 percent accurate in noting whether the orthopaedic injury in each image was an ACL tear. The overall accuracy of the dual energy CT suggests that it may be beneficial in a hospital emergency room. \"\" While this is a new use for dual energy CT, the images were of sufficient spatial resolution and diagnostic quality that radiologists with various levels of expertise in musculoskeletal imaging could accurately identify the tears,\"\" Glazebrook said. Dual energy CT as an alternative to an MRI Magnetic resonance imaging can also be used to look at potential ACL injuries. According to a 2011 report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, both CT scanners and MRIs benefit a physician or orthopaedic surgeon because of these devices' ability to get a complete, cross-sectional view inside the human body."

"text": "Overview Although tibial plateau fracture was originally termed a bumper or fender fracture, only 25% of tibial plateau fractures result from impact with automobile bumpers. The most common mechanism of injury involves axial loading, such as results from a fall. Other patterns of injury result from laterally directed forces or from a twisting injury. In all cases, force is directed from the femoral condyles onto the medial and lateral portions of the tibial plateau, resulting in fracture. In younger patients, the most common pattern of fracture is splitting, while in older, more osteoporotic patients, depression fractures typically are sustained. Examples of tibial plateau fractures are provided in the images below: Tibial plateau fractures. Line drawings of Schatzker types I, II, and III tibial plateau fractures. Type I consists of a wedge fracture of the lateral tibial plateau, produced by low-force injuries. Type II combines the wedge fracture of the lateral plateau with depression of the lateral plateau. Type III fractures are classified as those with depression of the lateral plateau but no associated wedge fracture."

Patients who have this condition complain of pain low down in the back and radiating into one or both legs. A typical symptom is that the pain manifests after some time of walking or standing; the pain in the back and in the legs gets worse, the legs feel numb and cannot be controlled. In order to lessen the pain, patients must sit down or lean forward or squat on their heels. Lying on the side, or with the legs drawn up, also tends to help. Simply remaining still but standing up after walking does not help as the symptoms appear even after long periods standing. While the normal walking posture is upright, the pain causes patients to walk slightly bent over, as in this position the symptoms are easier to bear."

Linkedin Facebook Twitter Google Flipboard0 Comments In the eyes of Jared Wray, who became CTO of datacenter and cloud services provider, Century Link, when it recently acquired the Tier 3 cloud services business he founded, education is now one of the key problems facing the development of technology-based services. And that is not education about the technology itself, but how to use it and how to sell it. This is why he is ensuring that a core part of the company’s developing channel partner program has, for many of its participants, a strong education component. He explains: We used to have a channel policy where the partners were allowed to work with our sales team, but that didn’t go far enough. Now we are after partners that want to live on our platform with us. We have built a new Ecosystem Program that channels SI partners, white label resellers looking to brand their own cloud, and add-ons. Add-ons are third-party vendors already offering web-services to developers and other companies and wanting to integrate to our platform so they can sell through it. The last group we target is the software vendors. This has three levels: the first is free access to the resources so that they can sell to Century Link customers, the second provides more management services as well as education support such as sales training, and the top level is where we really invest with that partner in building dedicated managed services."

Das, MDShare E-Mail Print Bookmark Reprints PDFRevascularization procedures in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) account for more than half of all endovascular procedures that are performed. The SFA also remains the most difficult peripheral artery in which to maintain reliable long-term patency despite the rapidly increasing availability of endovascular therapy tools. This paradox is most likely a result of its long course within the adductor canal, which exposes it to unique mechanical forces unlike any other vascular territory. A discussion on how to plan and perform a percutaneous endovascular intervention in the SFA would be incomplete without recognition of its unique anatomical location. The SFA is the longest artery in the human body, and it originates at the junction of the common femoral artery as it bifurcates to the deep femoral (profunda) and the SFA. This anatomical location is fixed by a flexible joint above at the femoral head and a flexible joint below at the knee. The SFA has a tortuous course within the muscular adductor canal and does not normally feature any major branches. It emerges out of the adductor canal and just above the knee joint through the adductor hiatus, continuing into the popliteal fossa as the popliteal artery. It is, however, important to note that there is no defined boundary delineating the popliteal artery from the SFA."

( August 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A chief technology officer ( CTO ), sometimes known as a chief technical officer, is an executive-level position in a company or other entity whose occupation is focused on scientific and technological issues within an organization. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 See also3 References4 Further reading Overview [ edit]A Chief Technology Officer (CTO), \"\"examines the short and long term needs of an organization, and utilizes capital to make investments designed to help the organization reach its objectives ... [the CTO] is the highest technology executive position within a company and leads the technology or engineering department\"\". [ 2] The role became prominent with the ascent of the information technology (IT) industry, but has since become prevalent in technology-based industries of all types—including computer based technologies (such as game developer, e-commerce, and social networking service) and other/non-computer-focused technology (such as biotech / pharma, defense, and automotive ). In non-technical organizations as a corporate officer position, the CTO typically reports directly to the chief information officer (CIO) and is primarily concerned with long-term and \"\"big picture\"\" issues (while still having deep technical knowledge of the relevant field). In technology-focused organizations, the CIO and CTO positions can be at the same level, with the CIO focused on the information technology and the CTO focused on the core company and other supporting technologies. Depending on company structure and hierarchy, there may also be positions such as director of R&D and vice president of engineering whom the CTO interacts with or oversees. The CTO also needs a working familiarity with regulatory (e.g. U. S. Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Consumer Product Safety Commission, as applicable) and intellectual property (IP) issues (e.g. patents, trade secrets, license contracts), and an ability to interface with legal counsel to incorporate those considerations into strategic planning and inter-company negotiations."

"text": "CIO or CTO—What’s in a Title? Understanding the roles and responsibilities of your top IT executivesby Minda Zetlin, May 2010“CIO stands for ‘Career Is Over.’ CTO stands for ‘Career Taking Off!’” So declared one CIO-turned-CTO recently. Many chief information officers (CIOs) and even some chief technology officers (CTOs) would probably disagree. But a closer look into these two titles reveals that whereas the CIO role is pretty clearly established after being in common use for at least 30 years, the newer CTO title means completely different things from industry to industry, and even company to company. And as technology becomes more central to more organizations, CTOs are gaining in both recognition and power. In many large organizations, the CIO is still at the top of the career ladder for a technology-oriented employee. But in some situations, the CTO may command more authority, get more of the CEO’s attention, and even be paid more than the CIO. How can today’s technology leaders make sense of this confusion?"

By J. A. Mustapha, MD, FACC, FSCAI, and C. M. Heaney, RN, BSN, CCRC, CIPShare E-Mail Print Bookmark Reprints PDFUnfortunately, amputation without arterial angiography continues to be an acceptable practice around the globe for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). Historically, this practice was accepted because although angiography could lead to identification of severe tibiopedal occlusive arterial disease, we had no known treatment alternative to offer the patient. With the advent of new technology coupled with the skills of experienced interventional operators, this practice should no longer be acceptable. It is critical to perform arterial angiography on all patients presenting with lower extremity tissue loss and/or gangrene for accurate diagnosis of severe tibiopedal occlusive arterial disease. This article describes the mechanism to accurately diagnose and intervene on complex tibiopedal occlusive arterial disease. CLASSIFICATION AND INTERVENTION PROTOCOL The three tibial vessels are the anterior tibial artery located laterally, the peroneal artery located centrally, and the posterior tibial artery located medially. To make a clinical decision on how to intervene, Dr. Mustapha has developed the Jenali Tibial Runoff Classification and Intervention Protocol to provide precise therapy to the target vessel supplying blood to the area with tissue loss and gangrene for optimum outcomes after peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) (Table 1). Dr. Mustapha developed the Jenali Collateral Scoring System to define the severity of ischemic disease in the setting of absent straight tibial runoff to the foot (Table 2). The level increases in direct proportion to the severity of ischemia."

( Photo by Flickr user Justin Wolfe, used under a Creative Commons license)Here’s a secret sign that an entrepreneur in Philadelphia today is serious, motivated and smart. She doesn’t give a damn about the city’s tax structure. But that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t. Sure, there will be no parades this Saturday to celebrate the historic 75th anniversary of the oft-maligned city wage tax, introduced in 1939 as an innovative and rational approach for a very different Philadelphia. And nobody with enough of an economics background to muster a conversation at a cocktail party would defend the particularly maddening local tax portfolio Philadelphia remains stuck on. But for all the white papers, op-eds and panel discussions, the city’s tax structure, while most certainly flawed, is not a hindrance for starting a company. The messy tax policy, which prominently includes a local income tax, is a hindrance for bigger companies to stay. \"\" It seemed like a good idea at the time. \"\""

"text": "Community Treatment Orders Section 51 Mental Health Act 2007What is a Community Treatment Order (CTO)? A Community Treatment Order (CTO) is a legal order made by the Mental Health Review Tribunal or by a Magistrate. It sets out the terms under which a person must accept medication and therapy, counselling, management, rehabilitation and other services while living in the community. It is implemented by a mental health facility that has developed an appropriate treatment plan for the individual person. A CTO authorises compulsory care for a person living in the community. If a person breaches a Community Treatment Order, by not complying with the conditions of the Order, the person may be taken to a mental health facility and given appropriate treatment, including medication. CTOs can be made for any period of time up to twelve months. It is possible for a person to have more than one consecutive CTO. When may the Tribunal make a CTO? The Tribunal may make a CTO:for a person who is detained in or a patient in a mental health facility, orfor a person who is not in a mental health facility."

The trick is figuring out what activities can make a difference and which are merely motions. When I briefly took the job I promised myself that I would spend at least 60% of my time facing out. I hadn’t been able to quite do that, but I have a belief that one of a company’s mundane dangers is not looking outside enough and, if I wanted that to change, I had to walk the talk. We all have more things we don’t know about than things we do. I think there is a hierarchy of troubles, from bad to worse: What we don’t know. What we don’t know we don’t know.

Some of the issues we have been receiving calls about from ODTAs, MSCs and sections reps are:1) Rental Car issues -- Adjustments to the rental car costs cannot be made in the voucher. Here is the temporary solution until Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) fixes the problem.a) If the member has not signed the voucher, remove the voucher and amend the authorization to include the actual costs for the rental car. Re-route and re-approve the authorization. Once that's done and the authorization has been approved, the member can create a new voucher.b) If the member has signed the voucher, what the member can do is take the difference of the rental car costs that's already populated in the voucher and add as a non-mileage expense. Ex: Rental car in authorization says $100 -- actual costs on return are $175.29. Take the difference ($75.29) and add as a non-mileage expense. In the box as an explanation: Rental Car Costs - DIFF.2) Having problems seeing people in their groups -- In order to see a person in your group, you must either type in the last and first names, the full SSN or the TANUM in all caps."

"text": "What’s the Difference Between CIO vs CTO? March 3, 2011 By Christopher Price 9 Comments When talking to business managers, I often find confusion about the roles of technology leadership positions. CIO and CTO titles are frequently used interchangeably. Sometimes they only have a Director of Technology who reacts to “tech issues” when they come up. For the sake of clarity, I’ll offer my observation that Information Technology leaders tend toward one of two orientations: Internal business processes or external product development. CIO is primarily internally-facing. The CIO, or the Chief Information Officer, is a company’s top technology strategist who understands the business information needs of the company and the stakeholders of corporate operations. Maintains internal IT systems, including company information domains and business processes. Typically reports to the CEO on business models and vision issues, and collaborates with other business executives to learn their needs and develop new concepts. The CIO is a business person with IT experience."
